Seedling Investments

Seedling Next Gen Agri LP is a pioneering investment firm dedicated to bridging the generational gap in New Zealand's agriculture sector, where farming drives 79% of the nation's export revenue. With a looming succession crisis, average farmers age over 50 and $150B in assets needing to solve succession issues, we empower the next generation of talented young farmers to thrive, while our win-win model delivers competitive, sustainable returns for investors.

Founded on a decade of deep industry insight, Seedling addresses the core challenges: financial barriers pricing out aspiring farmers, environmental pressures demanding innovation, and retiring landowners needing flexible exits. Our founder, once a young farmer himself, experienced these hurdles firsthand and built Seedling to solve them.

Why Seedling?

Empowering Succession: We provide capital to shift farms toward cutting-edge sustainable practices at the point of handover, adopting affordable solar, advanced tech, precise soil testing, nutrient optimization, diverse pasture mixes, and soil carbon enhancement for resilient, productive land.

Innovative Financing: Our model invests in young farmers, granting them equity stakes, while offering retiring owners off-market exits with optional retained investments. This creates diversified, liquid agri assets that align incentives for all.

Investor Opportunity: In a market with whole milk powder up 24.5%, meat prices rising 16%, lowering interest rates, agricultural land offers stability and growth, far outperforming volatile stocks or low-yield deposits.

At Seedling, we're not just managing funds; we're revitalizing rural communities, safeguarding the environment, and ensuring agriculture's future.
