Fonterra FY26 Results: $9.69 Milk Price, $3.4bn Profit
Fonterra has unveiled its annual results for the 2026 financial year, posting $27 billion in revenue and close to $20 billion returned to New Zealand farmer owners and unit holders.
The Fonterra shareholders council announced last week that elections will take place in 10 of its 25 wards.
Of the 10 wards, six will have new councillors: six sitting councillors have had enough and are retiring. Only four are re-contesting.
