Our Co-operative
Fonterra's strength is in the collective | Te Mātāpuna toa takitini
We are a Co-Operative created and owned by Aotearoa New Zealand dairy farmers. Our rich history is built on farming families working together to share the natural goodness of our dairy with the world.
Collaboration, innovation and passion was the cornerstone of our creation and something we continue to value today through our commitment to care for the land, our animals and every drop of milk. Our milk creates goodness through nutritious food with safe, quality ingredients that are loved here in New Zealand and around the world.
