Has Fonterra delivered for farmers?

From Nine To Noon, 9:26 am on 10 May 2018

A big shake up of the diary industry is on the cards - with the government signalling Fonterra may not, in future, be required to collect milk from all farmers who choose to sell it. The Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor yesterday outlined the terms of reference for a review of the laws governing the diary industry - which were passed 17 years ago when Fonterra was established. Kathryn talks with Duncan Coull, chairman of Fonterra Shareholders' Council, which has commissioned its own study into how well Fonterra has delivered for farmer-shareholders.
