Building an Australian food and agriculture platform for the long term
Terra Firma Equity Limited is developing an Australian-controlled platform connecting primary production, processing, food manufacturing, distribution and customer markets.
A platform built on proven capability
Terra Firma is assembling a connected Australian food and agriculture platform around established businesses, experienced operators and complementary capabilities across the supply chain.
The platform is intended to give strong businesses access to the investment, infrastructure, systems and market reach needed to grow with confidence, while preserving the expertise, relationships and accountability that made them valuable in the first place.
By connecting primary production, processing, manufacturing, distribution and customer markets, Terra Firma aims to create a more resilient group capable of responding to changing customer needs and creating enduring value across the Australian food economy.
Creating stronger connections across the food economy
Australia has highly capable producers, processors, manufacturers and food businesses, but many continue to operate independently across a fragmented supply chain.
Terra Firma's strategy is to bring complementary capabilities together so that businesses can access broader markets, stronger infrastructure, experienced leadership and new pathways for investment and growth.
The result is intended to be a platform that is more responsive to customers, more resilient through changing market conditions and better positioned to create value across the full food system.
The operating platform
Terra Firma is building the capabilities required to connect Australian food production with processing, manufacturing, distribution and customer markets.
