Fonterra Co-operative Group

co-op · Dairy · FY-end 07-31

Farmer-owned dairy co-operative and New Zealand’s largest goods exporter. It collects most of the country’s milk, pays a regulated Farmgate Milk Price, and sells ingredients and foodservice products globally. Statutory NZX filings can read like a 1-pager; the Co-op’s own results pack, milk-price statement and quarterly business updates carry the management commentary. FY-end is 31 July. Q1 and Q3 are business updates, not full accounts.

Fonterra Shareholders' Fund (NZX:FSF) — Unit trust that gives economic exposure to Fonterra shares. Not a second operating company.
