Overview

Industry

Agriculture

LIC is a farmer-owned co-operative and world leader in pasture based dairy genetics and herd management.

We exist to deliver superior genetics and technological innovation to help our shareholders sustainably farm profitable animals.

LIC is headquartered in Hamilton, with over 21 sites across NZ, Australia, UK and Ireland. With origins dating back to 1909, LIC has a long history of developing and delivering world-leading innovations for the dairy industry. This is even more relevant to farmers today given the rapid change the sector is undergoing.

The co-op is one of the sector’s biggest private investors in research and development (R&D). LIC’s commitment to R&D and new product development continues today, in line with its strategy to deliver value for its farmer shareholders.

LIC shares are listed on the NZX. To be a shareholder in LIC, you have to farm dairy cows in New Zealand, supply a New Zealand milk processor and buy a minimum amount of qualifying products and services from LIC in any one year.

As a farmer-owned co-operative, all of our profit is returned to our farmer owners/shareholders in dividends, or reinvested for new solutions, and research and development
