Looking for TerraCare?
Don’t worry, you’re in the right place!
Let us explain ...
As a Tauranga-based fertiliser company looking to expand, we liked TerraCare so much that we bought the company on 8th February 2022. Fertco and TerraCare have always shared similar philosophies around caring for customers and the land, so the decision to purchase was an easy one.
We are very excited about the future of the fertiliser industry in New Zealand and our role in it. With the purchase, we have increased our customer representatives in the field, increased our product offerings, especially to TerraCare customers, and added the Te Awamutu factory to our Tauranga-based one, allowing easier access to fertilisers for many of our customers.
So, Hello and Welcome to Fertco!
Please take a few moments to explore our website to find out more about who we are and what we can do for you.
Fertco provides high quality innovative products to the New Zealand primary industry while focusing on nutrient efficiency and sustainability.
Fertco Services
Soil & Herbage Testing
As a science-based organisation, soil and herbage tests underpin everything that we do. We use New Zealand testing labs who provide clear, consistent results based on years of trials and regularly calibrated procedures. This provides a strong foundation for us help you develop and maintain an effective fertiliser management plan.
Quality Advice & Nutrient Budgets
At Fertco, we commit time and resources to train our people. We know that recommending the best fertiliser programme for your soil is only part of the story, so are equipped to prepare a full nutrient budget report for both efficient nutrient management and compliance purposes.
Customised Recommendations
Every property is different, and so is every farmer, so we don’t have generic ‘one-size-fits-all’ products. Although we base our recommendations on soil and herbage tests, our aim is to develop a fertiliser programme in partnership with you to suit your specific property and individual goals. Customised orders are all in a day’s work for us!
Environmentally Sustainable Products
Sourcing environmentally sustainable products is what Fertco has always been about (see About for our story). We select products that mitigate nutrient losses and test everything for contaminants and impurities. It’s equally important to us that what we source from around the world is ethically produced without polluting the local environment or involving child labour.
Personalised Farm Nutrient Services
With Fertco, you get good old-fashioned customer service. We visit you in person, at your property, and work alongside you to develop fertiliser plans and nutrient budgets to achieve your goals – be they short or long term. We keep in regular contact with you and offer a full back-up service, meaning you can phone us for advice at any time.
