Bakers prefer butter, helping prices soar
Consumers around the world are willing to pay more for products containing dairy and this is driving demand for butter and cream, says Fonterra.
Fonterra, as one of the biggest corporates in the country, has been doing its bit for the community - like contributing to Kickstart Breakfast alongside the Government.
Given the financial strife facing Fonterra shareholders, should the co-op pull out of such initiatives until dairy prices improve?
This will keep a bit more money in farmers' pockets. And, isn't funding social welfare initiatives the job of the government?
