Feeding the world’s growing population
New Zealand’s reputation as a quality food producer is growing.
The Fertiliser Association of New Zealand promotes and encourages responsible and scientifically-based nutrient management.
Managing nutrients well is in all New Zealanders’ interests, both for economic benefit and environmental management.
To promote good management practices, we develop training programmes, fund research, participate in government and local body working groups, and work closely with other organisations in the agricultural sector.
Founded over 70 years ago, The Fertiliser Association is an industry association funded by member companies to address issues of common public good. Members Ballance Agri-Nutrients and Ravensdown Limited manufacture, distribute and market around 98% of all fertilisers sold in New Zealand.

One of the areas highlighted in the report is soil quality, and in particular, soil fertility as measured by the 'Olsen P' soil test. However, the report's analysis is based on a limited data set. Our analysis of industry data suggests a slightly different picture than presented in the report.
