About Tama Australia

At Tama Australia, we’re dedicated to supporting Australian farmers and contractors with premium crop baling and cotton packaging solutions.

100 Years In The Fields

With roots tracing back over a century, our journey in agriculture is deeply intertwined with our founding kibbutz members.
We share a profound understanding of the farming way of life.

Our Values

Commitment

We’re in it for the long run.

We always stand beside our partners and overcome any challenge. We are generational, just like our fellow farmers, and we will always go the extra mile for you.

Integrity

We never cut corners.

The quality of our solutions and services is always first-class. Our supply chain is stable even during crises, and we’ve got our fellow farmers’ backs all through the process.

Hard Work

Getting our hands dirty.

As farmers, hard work is an integral part of who we are. Our strong work ethic was an essential part of turning a small local workshop into a global Crop Baling manufacturer and solution provider.

Partnership

Doing it together.

We collaborate with major agricultural equipment manufacturers, national agri-associations, and top academic facilities, and work closely with fellow farmers worldwide, advancing harvesting innovation.

Our advanced dairy farm is home to around 700 milking cows, each contributing to an impressive annual average yield of 3,200 gallons per cow.

Beef Cattle

Our beef herd roams freely across 6,670 acres of forested lands surrounding our farm, playing a crucial role in mitigating the risk of forest fires.
