Richmond, Nelson-based The Growing Group operates in Farming. Privately held, at thegrowinggroup.com. Two addresses sit on record, spread over two office countries. It employs 1 person, on the record. It lists agriculture among its specialties. It is listed alongside nine similar brands, mostly in Farming.
After purchasing two farms in 1997 Chris followed the recommendations of traditional fertiliser representatives, increasing the application rate of fertiliser on his farms. The heavy cost of these recommendations were compounded by a poor response from his pastures. It was apparent that the fertiliser was missing something that would take Chris years of research and collaboration to find.
Working with scientists, agronomists and farmers over several years The Growing Group has developed and patented a phosphate product named CarboPhos®. Drawing experience from trials in New Zealand and Europe, they are now working to bring additional nitrogen and potassium products to market that meet their aim of providing complex, sustainable, and environmentally sound products. By working with existing manufacturers and fertiliser markets, The Growing Group is optimising the delivery of products to farmers.
The Growing Group is based in Nelson, New Zealand, with branches in Australia and Hong Kong.
Trademarks and Patents - CarboPhos® and CarboUrea® are registered trademarks of The Growing Group Ltd in Australia and New Zealand. CarboPhos is a patented product of The Growing Group.
