Bernard later acquired the property, and since then, Sechura RPR has remained a cornerstone product at the store. Intrigued by its potential benefits for his own farming endeavors, Bernard decided to give it a try. Impressed by the results, Sechura RPR has been a mainstay on the property ever since.

The evolution of Asura Fertiliser into Kiwi Fertiliser, with Ron Mclean at the helm, marked a significant transition. Bernard and Ron’s paths crossed on the wharf at Napier while collaborating on the unloading of another shipment of Sechura destined for New Zealand.

Over a decade ago, Kiwi Fertiliser Ltd became a fixture at the store, steadily attracting a growing clientele. Many seek alternatives to mainstream fertiliser companies, which often offer repetitive solutions year after year.

What sets Kiwi Fertilisers apart is our commitment to excellence. The first thing we will sell you is a soil test so we won’t waste your money on something you may not need. We send all soil samples to the Perry Agricultural Laboratory (PAL) in Missouri, USA, renowned worldwide for their expertise. Unlike affiliated companies, we prioritize unbiased analysis. The cost and return times for PAL soil tests are comparable to those in New Zealand.

Upon receiving the results, our approach differs significantly. We tailor recommendations to suit your property’s unique needs, steering clear of generic solutions. At Kiwi Fertiliser, we prioritise integrity—we won’t sell you anything you don’t truly need.
