Two Major NZ Dairy Deals Completed
Two major acquisitions in the New Zealand dairy sector were completed this week.
When it's bad news - water quality, losses when commodity prices crash, etc. - the loudmouths are very clear that it's "their" (the industry's) problem.
But when they feel domestic butter prices are too high, or that Fonterra shouldn't "sell the family jewels", it's suddenly "our milk" and "our industry".
So, note to those like Helen Clark who suddenly have an opinion on Fonterra's business decisions - this is not China and Fonterra is not the property of some communist bureaucracy, it's a privately owned business.
The only ones who get to decide if they should sell assets are the ones who built those assets with blood, sweat and tears!
