Elders Limited

Founded in Adelaide, Australia, in 1839, Elders Limited offers a wide array of agricultural products and services primarily to rural and regional customers across Australia. The company's diverse activities are organized into three main segments: Branch Network, Wholesale Products, and Feed and Processing Services. Through its extensive Branch Network, Elders supplies crucial agricultural inputs like fertilizers, seeds, chemicals, animal health products, and general rural merchandise, alongside specialized production and cropping advisory services. Retail operations encompass both corporate-owned stores and support for independently owned member stores under the Tucker Pet and Produce brand. Elders facilitates livestock sales, arranging on-farm transactions with third parties, hosting regular physical and online public auctions, and conducting direct sales via its own and third-party feedlots and livestock exporters. It also provides agency services for the sale of greasy wool and brokering services for wool producers. The Feed and Processing Services segment includes operating a beef cattle feedlot and managing the import, processing, and distribution of Australian meat within the Chinese market. Beyond these core agricultural offerings, Elders extends its services to real estate, encompassing the marketing of farms, stations, and lifestyle properties, as well as residential agency and property management. Financial services include brokering for water and home loans, in addition to a range of banking and insurance products. The company also operates AuctionsPlus, a leading online platform for livestock auctions.
