In The New Zealand Herald today, our CEO, Miles Hurrell, speaks about how Fonterra is targeting high-value dairy products globally. “We’re already seeing the enormous potential of the foodservice business as it continues to grow in China and other parts of Asia. As China’s economy continues to grow, demand for dairy will not only increase but also change. Our ingredients and foodservice brands, alongside the Fonterra corporate brand, are well known to our customers and partners offshore – including China’s Premier, who Fonterra recently hosted in Auckland. What possibly surprised Premier Li the most, when I showed him around a product showcase at Fonterra’s headquarters in Auckland during his state visit in June, was the number of consumer-branded products in China that use our ingredients.” – Miles Hurrell, CEO Fonterra.

This week I had the pleasure of swapping the keyboard for the pellet driver, at Foodbank Victoria, where we took our awesome Fonterra Australia graduates and Richmond office members to do our bit for our local communities. Fonterra has a longstanding partnership with Foodbank, donating 100s of 1000s of litres of fresh milk, and other dairy products, each year for those in need. It was awesome to get involved, packing orders and seeing our dairy products head out to Victorian communities. Between the 8 of us, we packed over 23,000 meals! A fun, feel good day out #DoingGoodTogether. (Sadly, Dominic Thompson and I didn't take out the winning partnership for most orders packed, but we did give Verstappen a run for his money on laps around the warehouse, and absolutely made pole position for the most symmetrical looking pellets - satisfaction enough! 😆) 🚗 William Parker crowned the Foodbank Fairy overall! 👑 🧚♂️ Great work team - Laura Gatenby Cynthea Maugueret Jordan Yap Cameron Krause William Parker Dominic Thompson and Sophie-Rose Peters. 🙌
