Why Ag Assist is Free to Post and Trade – What’s Next for the Future

At Ag Assist, we’re committed to creating a platform built for the people who are the backbone of New Zealand’s food and fiber sector. Our platform is free to use right now because we want to get it right. Our mission is simple: to connect people, businesses, and resources across the agricultural industry. To do this, we need your feedback. We’re not just a tech company; we’re a farming-led startup focused on being straightforward, reliable, and community-driven. As we continue to improve, we’re dedicated to refining our platform based on your needs. Every feature and update is built with you in mind, and our goal is to provide the industry with the tools it needs without high fees standing in the way. We’re also focused on creating a competitive environment across the sectors we serve. By connecting businesses, workers, and service providers, Ag Assist levels the playing field, offering everyone the opportunity to grow, access new markets, and discover fresh opportunities without being limited by the "who you know" approach. We want to prove our value first. We’re genuinely here to solve the challenges the industry faces. To do this, we need users on both sides of the marketplace—businesses and workers, buyers and sellers. Once our community grows, we’ll introduce monetization strategies to enable our continued growth and best support the industry, ensuring it remains fair and accessible. Backing our vision is a group of shareholders deeply connected to the land. They believe in the future we’re building and support us because we’re not just about business; we’re about the future of the industry and making it better for everyone. We’re proud to be farmer-led and committed to the values that drive us. Ag Assist isn’t just a marketplace; it’s a community powered by people like you who believe in the future of New Zealand farming. As we grow, we want to keep the conversation going. Your feedback—whether positive or constructive—is essential to helping us improve and serve the needs of the industry. We’re focused on keeping things transparent, practical, and tailored to the needs of New Zealand’s rural communities. Together, we’re building a platform that strengthens the future of farming, one connection at a time.
