OPINION: Fonterra may be on the verge of selling its consumer business in New Zealand, but the co-operative is not keen on giving any ground to its competitors in the country.
"Our Dairy Council has spent some time on Trading Among Farmers," says Willy Leferink, Federated Farmers Dairy chairperson.
"We've agreed to meet with Fonterra's Board in the next few weeks to go through points our council members have raised.
"Trading Among Farmers is a very big decision and will be a defining point in Fonterra's evolution," Leferink says.
