A proposal to reduce Fonterra's board to nine has received over 50% support from shareholders.
While shareholders at the annual meeting in Waitoa are yet to cast their votes, 54.4% of votes received before 10am on Monday supported the motion.

Fonterra's board and the Shareholders Council are opposing the motion.
