With another successful harvest season over, it’s a great time to reflect on the challenges encountered and opportunities ahead. The specialised solutions Farmlands offer ensure continuity for many of our horticultural customers during critical periods.
As any grower or horticulture-related user of fuel will know, the success of an entire season can hinge on the ability to pick at the right time and transport crops to their next destination without delay. Farmlands, with years of industry knowledge and expertise, is perfectly placed to help our customers do this.
The latest harvest season has seen record volumes of fuel delivered to an ever-increasing range of growers, processors, and transporters. Our traditional apple customers are now complemented by numerous wineries, stonefruit, kiwifruit and even hops growers. From Central Otago to Kaitaia, Farmlands’ scale and coverage nationwide allows for:
Reactivity is critical, but our successful supply model is based on careful setup and planning with our customers. Being prepared for peak, even if it’s only a few weeks a year, is where our customers get the biggest benefit. This can be achieved via a 3-step process:
Farmlands Fuel trucks are built specifically to meet the full range of delivery situations we encounter in the horticulture industry – from high-volume pumping equipment right through to low-volume nozzle fills. Excellent drivers, with years of experience, are the ‘cherry’ on the top in this supply chain model.
With more capacity and flexibility being implemented in key growth areas, the future is bright for servicing existing and new partnerships with Farmlands customers.
