Welcome to the website of Organic Promotions.
ORGANICAG is about optimising YOUR business returns.
This is achieved through information delivery and mentoring. The result is effective knowledge and an understanding that can translate into lower cost of production while achieving access to more secure and higher value markets.
Organic agriculture belongs to farmers, producers of food and fibre. The farming systems are monitored against production requirements(as with Kosher, Halal,etc) and the result is the opportunity to market your production as certified organic---of course in most cases for a healthy premium from a discerning market place.
The demand for certified organic product has not slowed in growth for over 20 years, from a small beginning admittedly, but New Zealand is losing markets to a range of countries that can supply.
In the dairy sector alone there are at least 6 processors in NZ all of whom require more supply—how much more? An estimated 600 farms (about 200,000 cows) now.
The question to ask yourself is...
- can I afford not to evaluate this business opportunity? It could add over a dollar a kilo milksolids to your operation.
- What would I need to change to meet these requirements?
- Why can organic farmers get $100 lamb when non-organic are getting $50?
We put farmer to farmer information at the top of our rankings. Mix with those that are doing it successfully and with those that have helped get them there!

Organic Promotions has been a hidden catalyst in agriculture change; we first introduced Dr Eliane Ingham (Soilfood Web) and Dr Arden Andersen to New Zealand agriculture.

Biological Farming Expo 2010.
Waikato 13th April 2010.
Organic Promotions through both marketing arms (OrganicAg and BioSoils) is seeing a rapid increase in the enquiry and uptake of both general biological agriculture and certified organic agriculture. It is important that we see both these growth patterns supported with information and we all benefit from the continued growth in ecological agriculture.
Exhibitors at these expos 'will be from the full cross section of input supply and service/process industries that provide the tools to biological / organic agriculture.
The stage is set this year for many farmers who have been looking with interest to see whether biological and organic farming does work; they have now clearly seen that it does---and want to be a part of it!
The commodity market is shaky to say the least--yet the eco/biological and organic markets keep growing--as it has done for the last 25 years--even though slow/adverse economic times.
This is your chance to maintain profitability---by simply doing what you are doing on farm now with a few adjustments!! Take the opportunity to evaluate your cost of production.
Still the biggest issue for export of high value certified organic and biological product is supply.
Still the biggest issue for export focused primary producers is returns.
Biological agriculture helps farmers with both---and they are now realizing this!
