The Canterbury Plains New Zealand and the Oregon Willamette Valley both enjoy temperate climates, affected by a classic 'rain shadow' - dry in the east, wet in the west. This is a result of the North-South mountain ranges, which intercept moist sea air, the predominant weather patterns in both regions.
In quality vegetable seed production, ANNAND Company has grown our production service in partnership with capable Growers. In New Zealand, Growers’ farming practices include short rotations, diversified farms and famous Kiwi ingenuity. In Oregon, vegetable seed Growers have decades of experience, the research background to select best location, best soil type, best agronomics for each species and each seed crop that we produce.
