ABOUT US

As a New Zealand farmer-owned co-operative we love the land as much as them, so we’re committed to farming more productively, profitably and sustainably.

Originally our core business was in fertiliser manufacturing, supply, sales and advice. But as the industry grew, we embraced the advances in agri-science and technology to lead the way in creating the best soil and food on earth.

We are a passionate bunch, and we love what we do. We don't just talk-the-talk, we walk-the-walk, and we make a difference every day by being who we are and we are committed to our values of  bravery, honesty, connections and imagination!
