Fonterra Suppliers Confident in Mainland Dairy Future
Fonterra's 460 milk suppliers in Australia, who will switch to Lactalis end of this month, are unfazed with the impending change.
OPINION: A short-term sugar hit. That's what NZ First leader Winston Peters is calling the proposed sale of Fonterra's consumer and associated businesses.
He has ratcheted up attacks on Fonterra bosses, arguing the sale is not in New Zealand's long-term interest and relinquishes control of valuable national assets.
With the election around the corner, Peters is turning to one of his favourite and proven tactics - playing the crusader guarding New Zealand's economic interests.
Voting on the sale started earlier this month, so while Peters got the headline he wanted, it remains to be seen if his antics have any impact on how the vote turns out.
