OPINION: The country's dairy farmers will now also have a hand in providing free lunch for schools.
It's now reported that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA), previously forecast to be at the lower end of the $45 million to $60 million range, will be even lower.

The news sent the company's share price down by 4c to 29c, giving the troubled milk processor a market capitalisation of only $61 million.
