Fonterra, Sharesies join to make share trading easier
Fonterra is teaming up with wealth app provider Sharesies to make it easier for its farmer shareholders to trade co-op shares among themselves.
Fonterra is planning to market cheese in its Anchor product range.
Fonterra Brands New Zealand director of marketing, Clare Morgan, refers to the brand’s tradition of a love of dairy and innovation.
“When pioneer Henry Reynolds launched Anchor in 1886 he would have never imagined that over a century later more than 150 Anchor products would be sold every minute.”
As well as the traditional Tasty, Colby and Edam, the range will have two additions – Protein+ and Zero Lacto.
“Our Zero Lacto cheese is another option for Kiwis with lactose intolerance,” Morgan says.
Protein+ has 26% more protein than Anchor Tasty and is an easy way to increase protein in a diet. At least 160 Anchor products are sold in 80 countries.
