Richard Allen to Take Top Job at Fonterra
Fonterra says Richard Allen will succeed Miles Hurrell as its new chief executive.
OPINION: Fonterra's decision to join forces with other primary sector exporters and launch a supply chain collaboration, Kotahi, is paying huge dividends.
In 2011, the co-op joined meat processor Silver Fern Farms to launch Kotahi and a decade ago, Kotahi and Maersk embarked on a groundbreaking collaboration with the purpos of providing greater reliability to New Zealand's ocean logistics.
Ten years later the results are in: together the partnership has shipped 1.8 million TEU or 23 million tonnes of New Zealand cargo to market, the majority being primary industry exports including dairy, meat, seafood, horticulture and forestry, through some challenging conditions.
And last week, Kotahi and Maersk signed another 10-deal to keep moving $160 billion worth of products from NZ to around the world.
The New Zealand red meat sector has signed an open letter to parliamentarians from BusinessNZ, urging swift ratification of the India-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
Wools of New Zealand is joining calls for New Zealand to urgently ratify a Free Trade Agreement with India.
Fonterra says Richard Allen will succeed Miles Hurrell as its new chief executive.
Cyclone Vaianu is continuing its track south towards the Bay of Plenty, bringing with it destructive winds, heavy rain, and large swells, says Metservice.
While Cyclone Vaianu remains off the East Coast of New Zealand, the Waikato Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) Group says impacts have been felt overnight.
A Local State of Emergency has been declared for the Waikato for a period of seven days as the region prepares for Cyclone Vaianu to hit the area.
