Battle for milk
OPINION: Fonterra may be on the verge of selling its consumer business in New Zealand, but the co-operative is not keen on giving any ground to its competitors in the country.
The warehouse will enable Fonterra to hold more than 5,000 metric tonnes of product in Dubai ready for quick supply to customers.
It will work as a distribution hub for Fonterra's ingredients business which sells more than $2.3 billion in dairy ingredients throughout the region each year.
