Fonterra Lifts Farmgate Milk Price
Good news for Fonterra farmers. The co-op has raised this season’s farmgate milk price mid-point by 25c to $9.75/kgMS.
It has started construction on a $75 million butter plant expansion at its Clandeboye site in South Canterbury.
The build is part of Fonterra's commitment to invest up to $1 billion over the next three to four years in projects that generate further value and drive operational cost effectiveness.
It is also expanding its organic business to the South Island for the first time.
This is in addition to Fonterra's ongoing recruitment of organic farmers in the North Island, where more than 100 farms are already part of the Fonterra Organic Programme.
