Federated Farmers will have a watching brief over the Danish group’s acquisition but is pleased Wrightson found a good buyer and is keen for the good relationship with arable farmers to continue, along with the agronomy advice services.
“They’ve been a really trusted and valued brand in NZ and we hope DLF keeps those high standards going.
“As growers, we are always looking for something else to grow and with the resources being brought in there might be more opportunities.”
Williams said there have been some recent mergers among big global seeds groups and farmers in many countries hope they will have continuing access to quality seeds at affordable prices.
“Farmers will be watching to see how that all plays out.”
