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.
The Fonterra shareholders council announced last week that elections will take place in 10 of its 25 wards.
Of the 10 wards, six will have new councillors: six sitting councillors have had enough and are retiring. Only four are re-contesting.
The council has come under fire for its role over the years. Some farmers accuse it of turning a blind eye to years of bad investment decisions by the directors and management.
With the council under the pump are we seeing councillors heading for the lifeboats?
