Ravensdown is the largest supplier of fertiliser in New Zealand, directly supplying more than half of all the fertiliser used in New Zealand agriculture.
We are 100% owned by farmers, providing them with sound technical advice and a comprehensive range of key farming inputs, all at the lowest sustainable cost.
Less than a decade ago we were mainly a solid NPKS fertiliser supplier. Today we offer a comprehensive range of inputs – from soil testing through to anthelmintics, from lime through to agrochemicals – all backed by highly skilled technical specialists.
We use the ‘ground-up’ approach. This involves working with farmers to test their soils, herbage and animals and then using the expertise of our Account Managers and technical representatives to analyse and interpret the results to provide recommendations to meet the exact needs of the farm. It is about adding value to our farmers’ agri-businesses and helping them maximise their productivity.
The ground-up approach encompasses research, analysis, highly qualified field staff, an extensive product range, a Customer Centre which is always available to take queries and orders and a national distribution network.
