The New Zealand Difference
The New Zealand Difference - it’s the qualities that define us and resonate in how we do business with you.
It’s all about the unique nature of our provenance offering and the robust character this brings. It means we can partner with our customers to craft world-class ingredients supporting products that are better for people, communities, and our planet.
Partnerships You Can Trust
Our team has a reputation as people who are highly trustworthy.
We genuinely care about doing the right thing and doing what we do well to support our customers.
“Tony, Andrew, and their team are a breath of fresh air – they’re transparent in communication and very accommodating. If we’ve ever got any issues with export regulations they’ll research and resolve them. We’re a relatively small client to Taranaki Bio Extracts but we feel valued even though we know we’re not their biggest customer.”

New Zealand Farming Systems Lead the World
New Zealand farmers have a special connection to the land - a relationship founded on care, and respect, and an appreciation that supporting nature supports us all.
Our pasture-based farming, with high biosecurity standards helps our animals to stay healthy, and means we can offer the best of beef-based nutrition – world class, great-tasting and nutritious ingredients.
Grass-fed
Our cattle are raised free to roam 365 days a year. This means from birth to harvest, our beef is grass-fed and finished with a 95% pasture-based diet.
New Zealand farmers lead the way, playing a key role in regenerating the environment. They operate 100% pasture-fed systems helping sequester carbon into the soil, and partner with local government on water quality and bio-diversity improvement programmes.
Hormone &
antibiotic free
Hormone Growth Promotants (HGPs) are virtually never used in New Zealand and since 2015 there has been no recorded use in beef cattle.
New Zealand is among the lowest global users of antibiotics in cattle. Any use is for health purposes, and is reported, with treated animals withheld from market for specified periods.
100% traceable
raw material
All of our raw materials are fully traceable. An electronic tracking system (NAIT) means movements of every farmed animal in the country are recorded, so our products can be traced back to origin.

An Ethical Choice
We believe that a healthy eco-system is a good part of our responsibility – it’s all about how we relate to our natural environment. As a New Zealand manufacturer and exporter, this extends from our relationship with the land and animal welfare practices to the way we do business, and the products that result.
New Zealand’s strict biosecurity and quality control processes, and geographic isolation have resulted in an animal disease-free status recognised by the World Organisation for Animal Health.
