The Best Produce

We’ve been growing our relationships with local farmers for years.

Today, we work with 12 growers right here in New Zealand, and we’re committed to providing the ideal conditions for all our farmers to grow and flourish.

Our community of growers in the Mid and South Canterbury areas provide McCain with fresh, high-quality potatoes from January through to June every year, all from 100% irrigated paddocks.

COMMUNITIES

Communities are a key part of our ecosystem, and we can’t succeed without them. That’s why we give as much back as we can, and will continue to do our part in the future.

Business

Over 50 years of natural growth

We’ve come a long way since purchasing our first factory in 1971. Today we have factories in Hastings and Timaru, with a dedicated central office across the pond in Melbourne.

We have a thriving workforce of OVER 250 PEOPLE. By focusing on local produce, we’ve grown to employ over 210 locals in our plants and over 50 in our offices across New Zealand. That adds up to making us a big contributor to healthy and thriving local economies.

3. FOOD THAT’S AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS
