Who are we?
TasCor is a private equity group that makes strategic acquisitions and investments in agriculture in Australia.
Our current focus is on the dairy industry in Tasmania.
What do we do?
TasCor invests in agriculture in Australia.
TasCor partners with like-minded investors and entrepreneur's to establish private equity partnerships in the agricultural industry.
TasCor partners with high performance farmers, providing them with financial support and corporate expertise required to acquire, enhance, grow and operate farming businesses.
TasCor focuses on pasture based farming systems with low production costs, which allows the business the flexibility to ride out commodity price swings and realise capital uplifts.
Beyond the profits generated from production and progeny, TasCor seeks to drive capital upliftment in the farms it acquires.
The upliftment is achieved through the conversion of underutilised land to grazing pastures and investment in irrigational infrastructure, thereby improving pasture production and increasing the stocking capacity of the farms
