What we do

Preparing people for real careers in NZ dairy

Leadership Development

From farm operator to manager. Mindset, communication and decision-making for people stepping into greater responsibility on-farm.

NZ Pasture-Based Systems

Practical training in pasture-based dairying: reproduction, feed budgeting, herd KPIs and the seasonal calving system that defines NZ dairy.

English & Cultural Integration

Farming-specific English, Kiwi workplace culture and an introduction to Māori culture — the things nobody explains when newcomers arrive.

Who’s behind Campo Kiwi

Fernando Boris

Fernando is a veterinarian from Argentina, specialised in animal reproduction. His connection to New Zealand dairy began long before he emigrated — as a student, he met Barbara Kuriger (NZ Sharemilker of the Year) and Colin Holmes during their visit to Argentina, and went on to develop the market for LIC genetic material across South America.

In Argentina he held senior academic roles: lecturer in Animal Production, Animal Improvement and Genetics; Secretary of Technology Transfer at the National University of the Litoral; and inaugural Dean of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences (Veterinary degree) at the Catholic University of Santa Fe.

After moving to New Zealand, Fernando worked his way from Farm Assistant to 2IC on farms of 450 and 1,600 cows, Farm Manager, and three seasons delivering reproduction, embryo transfer and bull-testing programmes for Xcell Breeding Services. He has spent the last two years as Contract Milker, responsible for more than 1,000 cows on more than 500 hectares. Everything taught through Campo Kiwi comes from that lived, on-farm experience.

Why it matters

A pipeline of trained, motivated talent

Latin America has a deep pool of people with genuine farming backgrounds, strong work ethic and a real interest in pasture-based dairying — but limited access to the language, systems knowledge and cultural context needed to succeed in New Zealand.

Campo Kiwi closes that gap before people ever set foot on a New Zealand farm — covering NZ herd systems, reproduction and KPIs, farming-specific English, and an honest introduction to Kiwi and Māori culture.

We’re building relationships across the NZ dairy sector — with industry bodies, training providers and farm employers — to connect well-prepared, Spanish-speaking talent with the people who need it.
