The China Jin Hui Mining Corporation - recently renamed Natural Dairy (NZ) Holdings Ltd - says it has agreed to buy the Crafar family farms as well as other assets including farmland, cattle, and milkpowder production plant.

The deal will be paid for in cash and through the issue of convertible bonds, the company said in a statement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The Crafar Farms are reportedly valued at $206.9 million.

Crafar Farms, the nation's biggest family owned group of dairy farms, were placed in receivership last year, after run ins with the law over dirty farming practices.
