Access to a data analytics platform with a personalised dashboard for informed decision-making

As an approved NRI supplier, you gain direct access to a network of over 165 independent rural retail outlets operating across Australia, servicing Broadacre, Horticulture, Viticulture, and Livestock markets. Rather than managing relationships with individual stores, you have a single point of collaboration that connects you to the entire network.

Becoming an approved NRI supplier means your products and services are endorsed and made available to our entire shareholder network. Approval is subject to an evaluation process to ensure your offering aligns with the needs of our shareholders and their customers. To begin the conversation, get in touch with our team.

NRI works with suppliers to establish trade agreements and commercial terms that help our shareholders access better pricing and compete in the market. Our internal communications platform also allows suppliers to share promotions, specials, and campaign materials across the network easily. Our shareholders are independent and make their own decisions — but having NRI in your corner makes those conversations easier.

NRI shareholders service four key agricultural markets — Broadacre, Horticulture, Viticulture, and Livestock. Product categories across the network include crop protection, fertiliser, seed, animal health, and equipment, giving suppliers a broad and diverse customer base to reach.

Our national management team acts as the bridge between suppliers and shareholders. Rather than navigating individual store relationships across the country, suppliers work with our team to identify the right opportunities, target the right markets, and ensure their products are positioned effectively across the network.

NRI shareholders are independent — they make their own purchasing decisions and suppliers are welcome to work with stores directly. Where NRI adds value is in helping establish trade agreements and commercial terms that make it easier for shareholders to buy better and compete in the market. It’s not about going through us, but working with us to create a stronger platform for everyone.

NRI facilitates group procurement across the shareholder network, bringing together demand from multiple stores into consolidated purchasing opportunities. For suppliers, this means larger, more predictable order volumes and the ability to offer competitive terms that benefit both parties.

NRI operates an internal communications platform that makes it easy to share supplier promotions, specials, and campaign materials directly with shareholders across the network. If you have a promotion to run or campaign assets to share, we can get that information in front of the right people quickly and efficiently.

NRI shareholders operate across diverse agricultural regions and markets, giving our network a broad and valuable view of purchasing trends, seasonal demand, and category performance. Our management team works closely with suppliers to share relevant market intelligence that supports better product planning, pricing, and positioning.

Getting started is straightforward. Reach out to our team through the contact form and we’ll be in touch to discuss your products, how they align with our shareholder network, and whether there’s a fit. We look forward to hearing from you.
