A Hawke's Bay entrepreneur says a new food innovation hub will keep small players out of the market.
The hub, Foodeast, which will be in Hastings, has been heralded by local leaders as a game changer for the region's food industry.
It aims to attract new businesses so they can test and develop ideas.
