Otago business Harraways and Sons is investing $11m in its oat mill, the only operational one in the country. 

The company says there is strong demand for oats, including for oat milk, biscuits and muesli bars producers. 

It says 95 percent of the company's oats and grains were sourced in New Zealand. 

Chief executive Henry Hawkins says oats are having a real resurgence.
