Westland Dairy sale

[Marilyn Munroe]

Agree with you. That's why the Chinese bought it and why the farmer suppliers will support it.

But big risk for the Chinese as the farmers are not contractually bound to supply Westland as I understand the co-operative arrangements post the acquisition.

So the Chinese really do need to do a Synlait or Open Country Cheese, and pay more than Fonterra.

Picture this in you minds eye;

A Fonterra tanker conveying de-watered milk from their Stillwater concentration plant to Racecourse Hill stopped at a level crossing to allow a train to pass conveying the Peoples Milk from the Rolleston concentration plant to the Red Banner Collectives Hokitika factory.

Boop boop de do

PS. Not as nutritious as Yak milk produced by oppressed Tibetan peasants who yearn for the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
