Our Stories
-
Farmers and Growers are the beating heart of our country. The Merchandise Team's role is to select the best products and negotiate the best prices for our buying group. While the farm or the orchard is the obvious career path, there's so much more to the Rural sector than working in the field. At Farmlands you'll have exposure to a huge range of opportunities that you may not know existed.

Our role is to provide the sharpest pricing and the best range of key farming inputs to our shareholders. We are proud to be at the core of the rural community; farmers and growers put their trust in us and every day we must live up to their expectations by giving them the best products at the best price at the right time.
