Nufarm is an Australian agribusiness specializing in the development, manufacture and marketing of crop protection and seed technologies. Headquartered in Melbourne, the company offers a comprehensive portfolio of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and seed treatments designed to help farmers manage weeds, diseases and pests. Nufarm’s products serve a wide range of agricultural segments, including broadacre crops, fruit, vegetables and turf, enabling growers to maximize yields and maintain crop quality under diverse growing conditions.
The company’s core activities span research and development, formulation, production and distribution. Nufarm invests in proprietary chemistry and collaborates with global partners to advance next-generation solutions, including advanced formulation technologies and biological crop protection. In recent years, the company has expanded its seed technology capabilities to complement its crop protection offerings and help growers achieve more integrated pest management approaches. Nufarm also provides contract manufacturing services, leveraging its manufacturing footprint to produce specialty chemicals and intermediates for third parties in the life sciences sector.
Founded in 1956 as a local farm chemicals supplier, Nufarm quickly grew through a series of geographic expansions and strategic acquisitions. The company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 1995 and has since built a presence across North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Key acquisitions in seed treatments and European crop protection businesses have broadened Nufarm’s reach and enhanced its capacity to serve regional markets with tailored solutions. Over time, the company has established research centers in Australia, the United States and Europe to drive innovation and support its global product portfolio.
Today, Nufarm serves growers in more than 100 countries, with major operations in Australia, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, the United Kingdom and several European and Asian markets. The company’s nearly 3,000 employees include agronomists, scientists and technical specialists who work closely with distributors and local partners to deliver on-farm support and training. Under the guidance of an experienced executive team, Nufarm continues to pursue sustainable agricultural practices and innovation that address evolving grower needs while navigating regulatory and environmental challenges worldwide.
