About Us
Agrivet Services Ltd is an independent privately owned company offering a range of contract scientific research and development, consulting and testing services in agriculture and horticulture, including environmental health.
Agrivet Services was formed in 2007 as a joint venture between two longstanding contract research organisations: Agrisearch Services Pty Ltd (an Australian company in existence for over 30 years and presently in 13 locations around Australia) and JAR Geelen Research Ltd (a New Zealand company based in Havelock North conducting independent horticultural research since 1986).
The head office for Agrivet Services is located in Havelock North, but it has the ability to conduct research throughout New Zealand.
