For more than a century AFFCO has been supplying quality meat products to New Zealanders and around the world. AFFCO is 100 percent New Zealand owned and a proud member of the Talley’s Group, a leading exporter of dairy, seafood and vegetable products. We have 12 plants around New Zealand and proudly export our lamb, beef and allied products to over 80 countries.
New Zealand’s green pastures naturally
produce the highest quality and most
trusted beef and lamb in the world. Our
temperate climate supports livestock in
open pastures, removing the need for the
use of antibiotics or growth-promoting
hormone treatments.
We’re a progressive business, and our ongoing investment systems enables us to continually improve the quality of products and our plant efficiency.

At AFFCO, we recognise the importance of protecting our environment. Across all facets of our operations we are constantly evaluating our processes to minimise our impact. We work with our valued community of New Zealand farmers in a shared commitment to environmental responsibility. We are constantly developing innovative ways to minimise packaging to reduce waste and for the past 6 years we have partnered with EECA to establish an energy and carbon management programme. This successfully reduced our energy use and carbon emissions across all of our processing plants.
AFFCO places a strong emphasis on corporate social responsibility. Since 2006, we’ve raised over $1 million for rural primary schools and fire brigades through our AFFCO Cash for Calves Programme. We also support the local communities where our plants are located, during the recent COVID-19 pandemic we donated significant amounts of meat to local food banks.
AFFCO have been at the forefront of the meat industry for over 100 years; from the first consignment of frozen meat sent by ship, to pioneering the export of chilled meat by air-freight. We're proud of our local roots and stand by our commitment to deliver quality products to our customers around the globe.
