Our Farmer Producers
Our Legacy
New Zealand’s farming history is bound by the excellent quality and reputation of:
- our farmer producers
- our livestock and
- the strong connection we have forged with the land.
This reputation is earned through producing healthy, superior beef and lamb, using our quality assurance programmes, which includes traceability and sustainable farming practices. This protects the integrity of our animal welfare, our food safety programmes and our products.
The Cornerstone of our Business Strategy
Our past shapes our future: woven through our legacy is a solid commitment to generate prosperity for the sector, and we’re delivering this with market-responsive, creative and technologically advanced options and solutions.
It takes a special understanding to balance the demands of the customer, the needs of the farmer producer, and to build a sustainable business.
ANZCO’s experienced and knowledgeable livestock representatives understand what it takes to grow quality New Zealand beef and lamb.
We employ the right people, with the right skills to get the best results.
How does this work for Farmer Producers?
- We process sheep, lamb, cattle and bobby calves year-round at seven local, state-of-the-art, accredited facilities under the CMP and Riverlands business brands.
- Any farmer producing top quality stock can become a supplier to ANZCO through the Riverlands or CMP businesses, either under the schedule option or under a fixed price contract.
- Producer groups connect the farmer directly with the end-customer to work collaboratively and create superior product. A prime example of this is our special relationship with Waitrose (UK), where reciprocal visits between farmer and partners occur each year
- Options are also available for the facilitation of store stock sale and purchase, as well as share-farming.
Our Future
We are committed to developing partnerships between our farmer producers, our existing and new markets to ensure a future that embraces innovation and benefits us all.
