Canterbury farmer John Nicholls last month became the second farmer-nominated candidate to win a seat on Fonterra’s board.

Fonterra farmers have elected Canterbury farmer John Nicholls to the board.

Fonterra will appoint a third “unknown candidate” in the second director election if neither John Nicholls or Jamie Tuuta succeeds, says Fonterra board aspirant John Nicholls.

Two unsuccessful candidates in the recent Fonterra director election will get another chance to join the board.

Canterbury farming company Rylib Group is firmly based on family values, says director John Nicholls. 

The Fonterra board needs real farmers with their own skin in the game, says would-be director John Nicholls.

Former Fonterra director Leonie Guiney is standing for the co-op’s director elections.
