Major Shareholdings

Background
Alan Pye owns some of the largest farm holdings in Australasia.
Pye and his family own 2300 ha of farmland in and around South 
Canterbury and nearly 30,000ha in Australia, mainly in         
Tasmania. This includes Tasmania's biggest station, the 24,000-
hectare Rushie Lagoon bought four years ago for NZ$9.9 million.

Pye also owns 9000ha in South Australia and Victoria, growing  
potatoes, onions, carrots and running livestock. His Parilla   
Premium potato brand is the second biggest processor in        
Australia and one of the largest potato growing companies in   
New Zealand and Australia.                                     

Pye and his family have been the biggest single buyers of the  
properties sold down by Tasman Agriculture - having bought six 
dairy farms from the company last October (2000) for more than 
$34 million.
