About QCONZ

The FWFP tool is built by the team at QCONZ. We have been helping businesses in the primary sector assure the quality of their products over past 25 years. We are the proud proprietors of the most modern, tested, and experienced suite of primary sector quality assurance products and services in New Zealand.

We train – designing and delivering bespoke skills training programmes across the primary industry.

We check – our experienced team of accredited auditors check processes on-farm and in processors to ensure quality standards are met (and with over 30,000 farm and factory visits per year; we have gotten pretty good at it!).

We build software – we have a team of clever software developers who can take our extensive farm and audit knowledge and experience and turn it into timesaving and value-adding tools – like the FWFP.

We aim to be the primary sector’s most trusted provider in quality assurance. As a privately owned business, we have the freedom to ensure our customer focus is unrivalled and our ability to innovate is unconstrained. Learn more about QCONZ here.

A big benefit for doing the plan is it’s good for helping farmers understand where the risks are on their farm. Another one is they realise a lot of the day-to-day things they are doing on their farm are good management practice and have an environmental benefit to their property.

Peter Thomas

National Manager, Farm Sustainability, Ballance

“It is easy and very simple to use and even someone who is technologically challenged could use the tool. That’s what I love about it.”

Alana Marriner

Taranaki dairy farmer

“We wanted a tool that was accepted by the Regional Council, was able to simplify plan preparation, and was user friendly for anyone that required access to the plan.”

Ben Howden

Environmental Manager, Waimakariri Irrigation Ltd

Really good to open your eyes to risks that are out there. You can think you have no risks, but going through the tool helps you to see the real picture.
