Ballance Agri-Nutrients
Ballance is a New Zealand farmer-owned co-operative that helps its customers to farm more productively, profitably and sustainably.
From the core business of fertiliser manufacturing, supply, sales and advice, Ballance Agri-Nutrients has grown to offer farmers a full range of science-backed nutrient products and services. This enables us to help farmers achieve soil and animal nutrition and productivity with a minimal environmental footprint.
Our agri-nutrient advice is complemented by award-winning web-based farm systems software, which enables farmers to capture and analyse a wealth of information, and so make the best management decisions for their business.
We cover the country, with one-on-one specialist advice on farm backed up by a network of rural merchant supply partners, service centres, consignment stores, manufacturing sites and our own agricultural aviation services.
As well as supporting New Zealand farmers, Ballance also supplies products to a range of industrial businesses.
