Fonterra, Sharesies join to make share trading easier
Fonterra is teaming up with wealth app provider Sharesies to make it easier for its farmer shareholders to trade co-op shares among themselves.
Fonterra's Chinese partner Beingmate last month agreed to set up a joint venture to buy the co-op's Darnum, Victoria, plant.
In return Fonterra will use Beingmate's sales and distribution network in China to sell its Anmum branded formula.
Fonterra chief executive Theo Spierings said the global partnership with Beingmate holds growth potential for both companies.
"The partnership will create a fully integrated global supply chain from the farmgate direct to China's consumers, using Fonterra's milk pools and manufacturing sites in New Zealand, Australia, and Europe.
"By working with Beingmate we are creating additional demand for ingredients and high-value paediatric and maternal nutrition products."
