LIC in Azores

Proven Genetics for Year‑Round Grazing in the Azores

The LIC Europe team is proud to bring our very best genetic offerings to Azorean dairy farmers.

About us

The LIC Europe team, based in the United Kingdom, work closely with our European distributors and our New Zealand headquarters to connect Azorean dairy farmers with the best of New Zealand’s pasture-based genetics. Together, we deliver proven solutions that enhance productivity, profitability, and performance in grass-fed systems.

The Azores and New Zealand’s upper North Island share striking farming similarities. Both regions benefit from oceanic subtropical climates that support year-round grazing, fertile volcanic soils, and maize-supplemented pasture systems. A strong reliance on pasture-based dairy production and a focus on high-quality dairy exports further unite these regions.

These shared conditions provide an ideal environment for New Zealand genetics to perform. LIC genetics are developed and proven in pasture-based systems like those in the Azores—helping farmers build resilient, efficient herds that thrive in grass-fed environments.
