Dairy is our life's work and our strategy is to lead in dairy. We've built strong partnerships with other leading global dairy companies and we are co-operatively owned by 11,000 New Zealand dairy farmers. Find out more about what makes us tick.
What we stand for:
Dairy is our life's work. It's our passion and it's what we do best.
We have always marvelled at the simple nutrition of dairy. In an age when you need a chemistry degree to understand food labels, milk is pure milk, providing the building blocks for a healthy life.
We are proud of our New Zealand roots. Year after year, our farmers in New Zealand work with the land and their cows to bring quality milk to millions of people around the world. They have passed their farming expertise down through the generations, keeping alive the time-honoured traditions that have catapulted New Zealand to the forefront of the global dairy industry.
Since Fonterra Co-operative Group was formed in 2001, we have become the world’s largest dairy exporter with nearly 11,000 shareholders. We export 95 per cent of our New Zealand-made dairy products to our customers and consumers in more than 140 countries. Our milk tankers collect around 14 billion litres of milk every year.
No matter where we are in the world, dairy is what makes us tick.
Key facts:
Fonterra is the world's leading exporter of dairy products and responsible for more than a third of international dairy trade.
Our dairy farmers have long been known for producing quality milk and today New Zealand is a world leader in large-scale milk procurement and processing.
Our global supply chain stretches from farms all over New Zealand to customers and consumers in more than 140 countries.
Our Strategy:
Fonterra’s strategy focuses on four areas to meet the challenges and opportunities in the dairy industry.
• Ensure Fonterra remains one of the lowest cost, sustainable dairy co-operatives in the world.
• Build trusting partnerships with customers by being a multi-origin supplier, allowing us to build more valuable relationships through supply chain integration and innovation.
• In high growth markets, where it is not practical to use New Zealand milk, we will leverage our cow to consumer expertise to take leadership positions using locally produced milk.
• Make Fonterra products the first choice of customers and consumers wherever we do business
