Description Throughout most of the nineteenth century, all sugar products in New Zealand had to be imported; wishing to improve New Zealand's self-sufficiency, in 1882 the Government offered a bounty to the first company to produce sugar locally. Already interested in business prospects in New Zealand, the Australian Colonial Sugar Refining Company had investigated possible sites in New Zealand and purchased 160 acres of farm land in Birkenhead. This was later expanded to 450 acres. Chelsea continues to operate 24 hours a day, and remains New Zealand's market leader in sugar products. Chelsea purchases bulk raw sugar from various sources in the Pacific and Australia, which is brought in by boat and processed and packaged at the refinery.
