The Country 30/10/25: Miles Hurrell talks to Jamie Mackay
Fonterra’s chief executive comments on the overwhelming YES vote from Fonterra farmer shareholders to sell the consumer brands business to Lactalis.

The average return to farmer shareholders would be around $392,000. That’s about 0.7% of GDP. But not everybody’s happy. Just ask Winston!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
