About 4FARMERS
Affordability
4Farmers was established due to the concern of WA farmers over the high cost
of farm chemicals, and in particular the industry practice at the time of pricing
according to the principal of “what the market will bear”, or more
accurately “what
the big suppliers thought farmers could bear”.
This practice enabled 4Farmers to import and supply Chlorsulfuron from China
in 1995 for half the price of other suppliers at the time. Similarly, the fungicide
Triadimefon that was sold for over $1000/20L now sells for around $110.
Thanks to the efforts of 4Farmers to provide low cost chemicals, farmers throughout
Australia have been able to adopt a whole new range of crop protection strategies
that were previously too costly to contemplate.

and scientists, 4Farmers has a unique blend of practical experience and technical
