Pāmu is a recognised leader not only in New Zealand’s agricultural sector but around the world where our farming practices are studied and emulated. Pāmu stands for best practices in sustainable and safe farming, and for the unique provenance of New Zealand foods, nutrition products and fibre on global markets.
Pāmu is the brand name for Landcorp Farming Limited. We chose the Māori word ‘Pāmu’ not just for its literal meaning ‘to farm’ but also to reflect the Māori concept of guardianship of the environment (kaitiakitanga).
Landcorp Farming Limited is a State-Owned Enterprise with a nationwide portfolio of farms that produce milk, beef, lamb, wool, venison, wood and more. Pāmu strives to be a leader in New Zealand agriculture, carefully creating natural products of high quality.

Our farms are in the lush green lowlands and wide-open high country of New Zealand, stretching from the Far North to the deep south. The air is crisp and fresh, the water pure and the land unspoiled.
On these landscapes, our animals roam, feed and thrive freely on a 100% plant diet – free from artificial hormones, antibiotics and supplements.
We recognise our role as guardians of the land and are leading the way in sustainable farming to protect and enhance the environment.
Innovation flourishes on our farms as we deliver to the world premium natural food and fibre products – the finest, naturally.
Our farmers take heartfelt pride in their jobs by caring for the land in traditional ways, truly caring for their animals, staying close to nature and respecting their role as guardian’s for generations yet to come. Our farmers are the pick of the crop and they take pride in delivering the finest natural products to customers all over the world.
We work hand in hand with our partners to farm thoughtfully and sustainably. These are close, long-term partnerships where we live a shared vision of collective success and building value.
