ACCESS to qUAlity<br />
milk supply.<br />
In the 2011 / 2012 Season, <strong>Fonterra</strong><br />
collected approximately 89% of<br />
New Zeal<strong>and</strong>’s milk from around<br />
10,500 Farmer Shareholders who<br />
are among the most cost-efficient<br />
dairy producers in the world.<br />
Farmers have a substantial financial<br />
stake in <strong>Fonterra</strong> through the link<br />
between milk supply <strong>and</strong><br />
ownership. This promotes a strong<br />
connection to the Co-operative <strong>and</strong><br />
a secure supply of quality milk.<br />
The milk price paid to Farmer<br />
Shareholders is linked to the prices<br />
of globally-traded dairy products in<br />
a transparent manner, <strong>and</strong> takes<br />
into account a return on investment<br />
in efficient processing assets.<br />
