	Fonterra Says It Won't Mess With Kapiti Foods - Science - RedOrbit
		FONTERRA is free to buy Kapiti Fine Foods but fans of the company's gourmet dairy products needn't worry as the dairy giant says it has no plans to mess with a "fantastic" brand.
		Fonterra announced plans to buy Kapiti -- which makes speciality cheese, milk and icecream -- and United Milk from Foodstuffs Wellington in November but was waiting for Commerce Commission approval.
		It was possible that Fonterra might drop one or two of its three cheese brands -- Mainland, Galaxy and Ferndale -- but it would defintely retain the Kapiti brand, he said.

	ICT Infrastructure \| No 5: Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited \| Information and Communications Technologies in New ...
		Fonterra shareholders have made a decision to implement their own rural broadband network rather than rely upon business cases and/or political processes to deliver a public, universal infrastructure sufficient to meet the needs of the company's applications.
		It is noted, however, that Fonterra's push to develop the network is driven by its own and farmer demand for applications that already exist, and the business case is justified by use of these existing applications plus applications already in development to share information between individual farmers and between farmers and Fonterra.
		Fonterra's investment also indicates that where an overwhelmingly positive benefit exists from an application within a specific sector, if the ability exists to co-ordinate investment, that sector will itself move to implement the infrastructure necessary to support that application.

	Fonterra forecast holds despite dollar \| RURAL \| NEWS \| tvnz.co.nz
		Jan 25, 2006 8:22 AM Fonterra is sticking with its forecast payout of $4 a kilo of milk solids this year despite the impact of the strong kiwi dollar.
		Fonterra's exchange rate hedging programme protected it from the full effect of the dollar's erosion of export returns, though the amount Fonterra will pay its 12,000 farmers is still down 8% to $2.2 billion.
		Fonterra chief executive Andrew Ferrier says stable commodity prices mean it's not changing its forecast full-year payment to farmers of $4 a kilo.

		Fonterra directors might this year pitch a public sale of 49 per cent of the co-op's $3.7 billion consumer brands business as a solution to festering tensions in its capital structure.
		Mooted in the run-up to Fonterra's creation from a controversial industry mega-merger in 2001, the concept was torpedoed as being against the co-operative spirit.

		Fonterra chairman Henry van der Heyden said the co-operative would work through a range of options with farmers early in 2007 and planned to put an alternative structure to a vote later in the year.
		Fonterra Shareholders Council president John Monaghan said there was a lot of work to be done before any changes could occur, but ongoing farmer control of Fonterra was likely to be non-negotiable.
		Fonterra was formed in 2001, from the merger of two previous dairy co-operatives with the industry controlling body, the dairy board.

	Milking China Market Fonterra's Basics to Boom Road; Milking China's Dairy Market - Science - RedOrbit
		The relationship is increasingly important to Fonterra as it transforms from being an exporter of milk powder to China into becoming part of the very fabric of the Chinese dairy marketplace.
		Fonterra admits to being somewhat confounded by the ability of Chinese dairy companies to quickly grow production to meet the rising demand as well as the fact that much of the growth is happening in the liquid milk market, which can only be supplied locally.
		Fonterra is also working on buying locally manufactured product from SanLu to supplement its food services and ingredients offerings.

	Fonterra heavies NatFoods investors - Business - www.smh.com.au
		Fonterra yesterday mailed its bidder's statement, which included a chairman's letter and marketing pitch, describing the bid as "straightforward" and at a "substantial premium".
		Fonterra argues the National Foods share price already included "a premium for takeover speculation" and compares favourably with other bids in the food and dairy industry such as Burns Philp's 2003 takeover of Goodman Fielder.
		Fonterra already owns about 19 per cent of National Foods and the Kiwi dairy co-operative uses the statement to point out a competing bidder would not be able to fully acquire the target unless it sold its shares.

	Regulatory Impact And Business Compliance Costs Statement: Dairy Industry (Application Fees And Fonterra Levy) ...
		Fonterra should bear the majority of the costs of enforcing the necessary legislative package, given it is the dominant entity and prime beneficiary of the Commerce Act 1986 authorisation.
		It is proposed that Fonterra be required to contribute $490,106.25 towards the Commission’s costs in 2002/03 and $393,750 toward the Commission’s estimated costs in 2003/04.
		The benefit of the proposed levy, under which Fonterra will fund the majority of the Commission’s cost of enforcing the Act, is that the exacerbator (rather than the taxpayer) will bear this cost and will also have some ability and incentive to minimise the cost of the regulatory regime.
