Demand for New Zealand fresh milk in China is “exploding”, says independent processor Green Valley Dairy.

Kingi Smiler, chairman of the Maori dairy company Miraka, which won the inaugural Maori Excellence in Export award He kai kei aku ringa, is proud of what his company has achieved in such a short time.

Fonterra has described its half year trading as subdued, with revenues dropping 14% compared to last year.
