New entrant wins trusted tick

Marnco New Zealand, which entered the local fertiliser market last year, says it’s proud to announce it has officially achieved Fertmark accreditation.

“This is a milestone that reflects our ongoing commitment to transparency, quality, and responsible nutrient management,” says NZ commercial manager Jamie Thompson.

“The accreditation process has taken us just over 12 months, encompassing rigorous product testing, supply chain reviews, and quality assurance audits to meet the Fertmark standard.

“We worked closely with the Fertiliser Quality Council throughout, ensuring that our products meet strict criteria for nutrient content and consistency.”

Thompson says Fertmark accreditation gives the company’s agricultural customers confidence they are receiving exactly what’s stated on the label.

In a time of increased focus on environmental stewardship and input efficiency, the Fertmark tick means farmers, consultants, and supply partners can trust the integrity of Marnco’s fertiliser products.

“This accreditation supports our mission to be a reliable partner across the value chain, from product sourcing, formulation right through to paddock application.”

Marnco NZ is an independent agribusiness company delivering fertiliser and nutrient solutions tailored to the specific needs of NZ primary producers.

An offshoot of Marnco Australia, it started supplying the domestic market in February 2024, bringing together local knowledge and global supply partnerships to offer farmers greater choice and transparency in an evolving regulatory landscape.

Based in Waikato, the company also now has sites in Invercargill, South Canterbury and Taranaki.
