From the CEO: Our Good Reputation

LAST WEEK’S meeting in Dannevirke about the impacts of One Plan on dairy farmers was scary for a number of reasons.
A ‘MEATWAVE’ is sweeping the country in the form of a series of well-attended meetings where farmers have voiced their frustration at the state of the meat industry.
FONTERRA IS facing a new reality in Australia.
NEWS THAT Miraka has signed a multimillion-dollar, joint-venture deal with Shanghai Pengxin to produce UHT milk shows how smart our small, entrepreneurial companies can be.
AS FONTERRA last month announced a 33% surge in half-year net profit, its share price had another story to tell.
WHILE THE drought is terribly painful to many dairy farmers – essentially it’s ruined a bumper season – it has brought to the fore some issues worth considering.
AS MORE regions are declared drought zones farmers can only despair of ill-informed comment – mainly by non-farmers and big-city media – showing up the rural/urban divide. It’s a chasm.
DAIRY FARMERS in the North Island are facing a stern test. Most regions haven’t had decent rain for two months, pasture has disappeared and milk production is at a trickle.
LIKE HANNIBAL getting 30-odd elephants across the Italian Alps (218BC), the dairy industry, plus ‘friends’, has succeeded in drafting a new agreement on how to prevent dairying from dirtying our fresh water resources.
FONTERRA SAYS it’s still collecting 10% more milk than last year, with about 65 million litres/day coming in.
