flag McCain Foods to close New Zealand plant by Jan. 31, 2027, citing shift to external suppliers.

flag McCain Foods will close its Hastings, New Zealand, vegetable processing plant by January 31, 2027, after a strategic review found a shift to external supply partners more sustainable. flag The facility, which processed over 50,000 tonnes of vegetables annually, will stop operations after the current season, impacting workers and local growers of peas, beans, and sweet corn. flag The company will provide transition support to employees and work with farmers during the shift. flag The closure follows similar moves by Heinz Wattie’s and reflects broader economic pressures on New Zealand’s food processing sector.
