Proudly supporting farmers and growers to be future ready Together, creating the best soil and food on earth. ballance.co.nz | 0800 222 090 40 | YEAR BOOK 2023
If the natural world is healthy... Ballance is proud to be supporting farmers and growers to be productive and sustainable. If the natural world is healthy, so too are the people. Taiao ora, Tangata ora. For many generations, New Zealand farmers and growers have been producing food to sustain and nourish a growing global population. Equipping farmers and growers with innovative solutions allows them to navigate current and future environmental-related industry changes with confidence. Ballance products, tools and services all aim to provide accessible ways to farm and grow more sustainably. Our co-operative was proactively formed by farmers and growers in 1947 to overcome the difficulties of sourcing enough nutrients to maintain productivity after World War II. Fast forward a few decades and action to safeguard a sustainable food and fibre sector is still at the heart of everything we do. Together, creating the best soil and food on earth. Guided by the principle of kaitiakitanga, Ballance with Nature is our philosophy of how we are supporting our customers to be future-ready - working with nature, caring for our natural resources, continuing to be productive. Nutrients are fundamental to maintaining healthy soils, crops and animals in New Zealand. Therefore, we have a significant part to play in helping our farmers and growers lower their emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. One of our key commitments to being part of the country’s low emissions, carbon-zero future is a joint venture with Hiringa Energy to produce green hydrogen from renewable wind energy and creating hydrogen fuel for heavy transport. Our $25m Future Ready Farms investment programme, which is jointly funded by Ministry for Primary Industries, features 13 projects to develop products, tools, and technologies to improve our waterways and reduce greenhouse gasses (GHG) and agrichemicals. We have technology solutions that enable precision spreading from the air, as our Super Air fleet use geo-spatial mapping to identify exclusion zones. On the ground, the SealesWinslow team are advancing animal welfare through locally manufactured, customised supplements. Ballance is a purpose-led organisation with a culture of care for our people and communities with more than 16,000 shareholders, assets of over $1 billion, a turnover of over $1 billion and a highly engaged team of 800 employees nationwide. Ballance enables farmers and growers to be future-ready, to be stewards of their land and to work together with nature. We are proud to be part of a growing and vibrant Bay of Plenty community, a region that strongly contributes to New Zealand’s prosperity. YEAR BOOK 2023 | 41
