Farmers supplying milk to Taupo-based processor Miraka are getting a 2024-25 season base milk price of $10.16/kgMS.
Six months after welcoming a new chief executive, Maori-owned milk processor Miraka has had to start a new search for a leader.
Grant Watson, who left Fonterra earlier this year to join Miraka has now been poached by troubled processor Synlait.
It's quite unusual for a CEO to leave six months into his new job but the lure of turning around the fortunes of a listed company may have triggered Watson's move. That's speculative though as no reason has been given for Watson leaving Miraka.
