Some of the best seed in the world comes from just down the road. We partner with local farmers and supply their seed to global markets – including Europe, the United Kingdom, America, Canada, Japan and Australia. We also provide onsite crop advice, access to all pasture varieties sold in New Zealand, agrichemical and fertiliser solutions, seed multiplication, and grain and seed brokering.
We've been working alongside local farmers for over 50 years. Mid-Canterbury is home – our people drive down hundreds of rural driveways every year, and our relationships with farming families have been built over generations. These on-the-ground connections are what makes our international partnerships so strong, as our global customers know we work directly with farmers and provide access to high-quality seed.
"We have dealt with Cates for seven years and grow clovers, grass seed, wheat, barley, maize, winter feed kale and fescue. Cates look at our whole operation and provides a complete service from seed contracts, chemical and great up-to-date advice for our farming business - year on year."

"The Cates team goes above and beyond, year after year and the fact we've chosen Cates for the past 39 years is proof we trust their specialist agronomy knowledge"
