> Location
Smith Seeds Ltd is located in Ashburton, the central area of the Canterbury Plains, renowned worldwide for top quality seed production. This area has fertile well irrigated soils and highly mechanised farms. With a temperate climate coupled with low humidity it is not surprising that this area of New Zealand is ideally suited to superior seed production.
 
Grant Smith, Ross Smith, Michael Smith
  The Directors.
Smith Seeds Ltd was established in 1990 by Ross Smith and eldest son Grant, after early research identified a market specialising in contract seed production - rather than selling or trading. A few years later they were joined by another family member, younger son Michael. These three Directors between them have approx 90 years experience in the seed industry.
