Federated Farmers of New Zealand
Adding value to the business of farming
Federated Farmers is New Zealand's leading independent rural advocacy organisation.
The Federation advocates for farmers and the role of farming in the modern New Zealand economy.
Consisting of 24 provinces and numerous associated branches, it is a democratic organisation that gives farmers a collective voice at both a national and provincial level.
It represents the specific interests of members including meat & fibre, dairy, goats, rural butchers, high country, grain & seed and bees.
Federated Farmers is governed by a National Council and National Board. The National Board meets regularly and comprises of a President, Vice-president, three Industry Group chairpersons and two National Board members at large. The National Council meets twice a year and comprises of the National Board and representatives from both the provinces and industry groups.
Policy is member driven. Members' views are canvassed by staff and elected representatives who formulate submissions that help local and central government decision making.
The Federation's aim is to add value to the business of farming for our members and encouraging sustainability through best practice.
