Agricultural Chemical Industry Organisations

There are two agricultural chemical industry organisations in New Zealand.  The larger group is called AGCARM and draws its membership from throughout the industry.  The smaller group is called the Animal Remedy and Plant Protection Association (ARPPA) and is comprised largely of importing and distributing companies dealing with generic products.

A slightly historical review of the structure of the industry appears in Section 3.1 (Key stakeholders) of a report prepared by the Ministry of the Environment on Waste Product Stewardship (Ag-recovery).  This can be found on the following link: http://www.mfe.govt.nz/publications/waste/product-stewardship-agrecovery-may06/html/page3.html

The ARPPA website address is: www.arppa.co.nz
