There's concern for hundreds of Kiwi workers as one of New Zealand's biggest pulp and paper mills looks to halt production.

Tokoroa's Kinleith Mill plans to halt paper processing by June 2025 - with 230 jobs on the line.

E tū negotiations specialist Joe Gallagher says these jobs cuts will have a ripple effect that impacts the rest of Tokoroa.

"Tokoroa was born out of the fact that a lot of people migrated to the area to work at Kinleith - a lot of people rely on Kinleith. 230 jobs is not insignificant and that's not counting the downstream of people in cafes, doctors, nurses and all those other jobs.
