Fonterra Suppliers Confident in Mainland Dairy Future
Fonterra's 460 milk suppliers in Australia, who will switch to Lactalis end of this month, are unfazed with the impending change.
Last week, owners of a planned greenfield dairy plant in Otorohanga went into voluntary administration after struggling for years to secure capital.
The project rattled farmers in the area, who mostly supply Fonterra. The co-op was bracing to lose suppliers to Happy Valley.
Some Fonterra farmers had made public submissions opposing consent applications lodged by Happy Valley.
