- Elders Limited delivers an extensive array of agricultural goods and support services to rural and regional clients, predominantly throughout Australia. The firm operates through its Branch Network, Wholesale Products, and Feed and Processing Services divisions. It offers essential farm supplies, including a wide selection of seeds, fertilisers, farming chemicals, animal health solutions, and various general rural merchandise, alongside expert production and crop guidance. Retail operations are conducted through company-owned outlets and via independent member stores under brands like Ag, Horse, and Pet. The company facilitates on-farm transactions to external parties, conducts regular physical and online public livestock auctions, and executes direct sales through its proprietary and partner feedlots and livestock export channels. Additionally, it provides agency services for the trade of greasy wool and grains, and extends brokering expertise to wool growers. Real estate offerings encompass the marketing of agricultural properties, pastoral stations, and country lifestyle properties, coupled with residential real estate agency and property management, and water broking services. Furthermore, Elders provides a comprehensive suite of banking and insurance products, as well as home loan broking. It also holds a significant interest in AuctionsPlus, a leading online platform for livestock trading, and a stake in Clear Grain Exchange, an online grain trading platform. The company maintains beef cattle feedlot operations, including Killara, and engages in the import, processing, and distribution of Australian meat within China. For the fiscal year ending September 2024, Elders reported total revenue of $3.13 billion and a profit after tax of $45.1 million. The company continues its strategic expansion, notably through its recent acquisition of Delta Agribusiness in 2025, aimed at strengthening its presence in local retail markets. Established in 1839, the enterprise maintains its headquarters in Adelaide, Australia.
