Fonterra shaves 50c off forecast milk price
Fonterra has dropped its forecast milk price mid-point by 50c as a surge in global milk production is putting downward pressure on commodity prices.
Fonterra farmers are waiting with bated breath on the co-op's plans to tackle scope three emissions in New Zealand.
With milk prices falling and farmers under financial pressure, Fonterra farmers are in no mood for extra costs or new requirements.
That's the dilemma facing the Fonterra board and management, and that may explain the delay in the co-operative coming out publicly with its scope three targets for farmer shareholders.
