The dairy sector is in a relatively stable position, with strong milk price payout forecasts continuing to offset ongoing high farm costs, according to DairyNZ.

A shameless political stunt is how Federated Farmers is describing the Canterbury Regional Council decision to declare “a nitrate emergency” on the back of its latest annual groundwater quality survey.

OPINION: As CEO of the Dairy Board in the 1980s I was fortunate to work with a team of experienced and capable executives who made most of the brand investments that created the international consumer business Fonterra inherited. Soprole in Chile was the largest, but there were more than 20 countries where consumer marketing companies were established and Anchor and other brands were successfully launched.

Fonterra has delivered a fifth straight year of record organic milk price for farmer suppliers.

Fonterra says favourable weather conditions supporting pasture growth is boosting milk production.

Science is pivotal to driving progress and unlocking opportunity and innovation in the ag sector, says DairyNZ chief executive and chair of the Agribusiness in Schools programme, Campbell Parker.

DairyNZ chair Tracy Brown says history shows that when New Zealand needs an economic lift, dairy delivers.

There is nothing more important to New Zealand than agriculture, says Prime Minister Christopher Luxon.

Fonterra chair Peter McBride, fellow directors and the management team, will front up farmer shareholders next week to explain the metrics around the proposed $4.22 billion divestment plan.

Fonterra's record financial results released last week will have "a significant positive impact" on regional communities, says Fonterra Co-operative Council chair John Stevenson.
