Funding support for native planting on your farm
Fonterra's new Planting Grant could help eligible suppliers get their next planting project underway.
The grant offers up to 50% of eligible plant purchase costs (excluding GST), capped at $3,000 per hectare, whichever is less.
Projects must meet Fonterra's eligibility criteria, including a minimum cumulative planting area of 1.5 hectares.
Register your interest with Fonterra by 15 November 2026.
Funding is limited and subject to Fonterra's approval. View full grant details on Farm Source >
