What Would Synlait Be Worth to Fonterra or a2 Milk?
Speculation of a possible joint move by Fonterra and a2 Milk to buy Synlait raises a much bigger strategic question, says agribusiness expert Dr Nic Lees.
During a discussion with shareholders at the co-op's annual meeting in Waitoa today, Wilson said that informing farmers earlier this year about new PKE usage limits was one such example.
Wilson says the co-op must get its communications better and it is the front of mind for management.
Former King Country MP, Shane Ardern told the meeting that the co-op was unable to take stakeholders along on its strategy "in these turbulent times".
"We definitely have communication issues," Ardern told the meeting.
"We have to do better in our PR department."
