Strategy

Landcorp Farming seeks to maximise sustainable financial returns to the shareholder while maintaining high standards of people management, environmental practice and corporate citizenship.

Our core business competencies include:

• Continuous improvement in farming operations towards raising their productivity and profitability, and promoting sustainability in the use of resources.
• Maintaining diversification of production, especially in the dairy and deer sectors, to limit exposure to the negative affects on group revenue of agricultural product cycles.
• Development of employees through training to support the knowledge and skill requirements of the business, and through effective people management systems.
• Geographic clustering of farms to secure economies of scale and to achieve "best fit" between the types and locations of properties and Landcorp's farming objectives.
• Development of land for high production pastoral farming, including the conversion of land from other purposes.
• Sustained improvement in sheep, beef and deer genetics to enhance productivity in Landcorp flocks and herds, and provide Sires of proven value^TM to other commercial farmers.
• Development and sale of land that has higher value for purposes other than farming, most notably residential/lifestyle subdivision with joint venture partners through Landcorp Estates.
• Development and marketing of farm management and related services to other commercial farmers and rural investors.
• Promotion of environmental, economic and social sustainability in rural New Zealand through a wide range of targeted initiatives, including research & development on Climate Change issues.
