The report commissioned by Horticulture New Zealand shows Maori land represents roughly seven percent of total fruit and vegetables land in the country.
It's a rise of more than 50 percent since 2017.
Chief Executive Kate Scott, says the figures are notable, considering there's been a decline in the amount of land in horticulture.
She says the ability for Maori owned land to be used in a way that's delivering for them and their people is something we should all celebrate.
