Owned by New Zealand farmers, for New Zealand
farmers, CRT Co-operative exists for one simple reason - to
use the collective power of its shareholders to negotiate better
deals and improve their individual profitability across all forms
of agriculture.
The very earliest roots of CRT stem from Producers Ltd, a
company formed in Otago in 1927, which was merged into Combined
Rural Traders Ltd during the 1980's.
The co-operative has developed into a significant feature in the
rural market and has grown to more than 25,000 shareholders who
transact over $1 billion worth of business through the co-operative
annually.
CRT's role has also been to create competition in price and
service, and the rapid growth and success is a clear indication its
retail pricing is the benchmark for the market.
