Big supply switch

Written by 

Fonterra has lost the supply of 4 million kgMS to rival Westland Milk.

Southern Pastures, which owns nine Canterbury farms, is switching supply from the 2018-19 season; it has also spent $6 million buying Westland shares at $1.50/share.

As a result, Southern Pastures becomes the largest shareholder in Westland.

Ex-All Black captain Graham Mourie is one of the principals of Southern Pastures.
