Ross says the portfolio of properties leverages the experienced on-farm teams, their integrated intelligence via ASF across the scaled offering, and the established relationships forged with OCD, providing a guaranteed organic premium to the milk price. “Global demand for organic milk products and growth in the wider organic sector nationwide, is founded on rising consumer sentiment for sustainable and ethically produced food,” he explains. “The pandemic climate appears to be consolidating this further, as the food chain is in the spotlight and individuals are taking greater responsibility for their health and the environment. “New Zealand’s organic sector is growing steadily, averaging a growth rate of 6.4 percent a year since 2016.” Aligning with Aquila Capital’s goal to be a responsible investor and company, the day-to-day operations of the farm portfolio are underpinned by sound environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles around animal welfare,

sustainable environmental practices and the development and well-being of its staff. Resilience to climate change is an important advantage of the organic farming system, amplified by the relatively benign outcomes of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change scenarios on the future effects of climate change on Southland. Director and farm salesperson Pip Ryan of Country & Co in partnership with Bayleys, says the Aquila offering is the largest Southland portfolio to come to the market since around 2000, and he’s expecting interest from outside of Southland given the properties' credentials and opportunity. Ryan agrees that the easy-contoured Southland Plains may not be on dairy farm investor radars and consequently, land in the region could be underestimated as a prospective addition to an investment portfolio. “In comparison to higher profile areas, Southland is a relatively affordable dairying proposition with dependable fundamentals,” he explains.

Properties are not to scale “A moderate climate with good yearround rainfall, including reliable summer rain, and highly-productive rich soils, allow consistent grass growth for optimum returns or yield. “Southland farming systems are predominately grass based, with the use of supplementary feed in the shoulders of the season to ensure more consistent milk supply year-round and allowing for flexibility of farm systems to capitalise on high milk prices for higher returns.”

FEATURE PROPERTY

Southland organic dairy farm portfolio with scale One of the largest organic dairying portfolios in the Southern Hemisphere is now on the market, providing sustainability options for astute buyers. The forthcoming sale of a substantial dairy farm portfolio provides the opportunity for a like-minded entity to acquire one of the largest scaled dairying operations in Southland, as a going concern. Owned by Aquila Capital, one of Germany’s first alternative investment management companies, the portfolio has an amalgamated farm footprint of 2,970.94 hectares across six dairy units, and 871 hectares from two supporting lease blocks. The portfolio represents a best-practice organic dairying operation with a proven overarching management structure, experienced on-farm teams and established relationships throughout the supply chain as part of the offer. Overseen by Aquila Sustainable Farming Ltd (ASF) as portfolio farm manager, the offering in its entirety has built-in efficiencies and meets rigorous compliance thresholds across animal welfare, health and safety, environmental and organic production. Market-leading operator ASF is the only specialised organic dairy farm management company in New Zealand. It has more than 25 years of collective knowledge of organic farming, leveraging learnings from its European farms long before entering the New Zealand market giving it a tangible advantage over other organic operations in this country. 39 + 26 casual

It has also developed rigorous systems and standard operating procedures, including ISO 9001:2015 certification, to secure compliance with organic and future environmental standards. ASF is the only asset management company of its kind with this internationally recognised certification. Four of the six Aquila portfolio farms were converted to A2 organic in 2020, with Aquila one of the largest single suppliers of certified organic A2 milk in New Zealand today. The AsureQuality-certified organic Aquila farms are located close to the Open Country Dairy (OCD) Awarua plant, allowing the organic milk to be received, checked and processed within hours of milking. Duncan Ross of Bayleys says while the Aquila portfolio as a holistic investment proposition in its existing goingconcern capacity has obvious benefits from scale and efficiencies generated through the ASF management model, he also anticipates wider enquiry from the rural market. “There are potentially numerous scenarios for genuinely interested parties looking to secure productive farmland in the Southland region,” he explains. “Across the portfolio, the farms have benefitted from significant capital investment made over 10 years, to provide good quality farm infrastructure and improvements.”
