More positive news for the agri-sector, with lending appetite increasing. Having the flexibility to access capital for growth is crucial for any business. As tempting as it can be to rush out and take advantage of a more competitive market, any new lending should consider the impact on your credit profile. In addition, it should consider future growth plans and working capital requirements. If you are looking to upgrade your equipment or want an overview of your wider agri-business finance structure, we can provide expertise and advice to ensure any new or existing lending is balanced to align with your wider business goals.

Andrew Laming urges farm businesses to not get frustrated with access to agri credit. Own your own credit risk and use it to your advantage, he says

We welcome the reduction in OCR by 0.50% to 3.75%. This cut was well signalled, and largely already priced into wholesale interest rate markets, but will flow through to lower interest servicing costs for mortgage and business borrowers on floating or short term rates over 2025. Further reductions have been signalled over 2025. The impact on longer term borrowing rates, those longer than say three years, will be minimal. These markets have already priced in these cuts, and if anything, international pressures may mean that longer term fixed interest rates have bottomed out.

It's encouraging to see some good news for forestry after a tough period. The Tai Rāwhiti mill that ran for 30 years before closing in late 2023 is set to re-open with new owners. The new owners will replace old equipment at the site and eventually run 24/7. This will see 80 jobs available in the first phase and about 200 jobs in stage two. More here via :
