Fonterra has new plans to expand. 

It’s bringing its organics business to the South Island, inviting farmers to join, with certification and processing targeted for 2028. 

Around 100 farms are already involved in the North Island programme as global demand continues to grow – driven by the US, China, and Europe.  

Fonterra Co-operative Council Chair John Stevenson told Mike Hosking the key will be for Fonterra to grow at a rate where the demand doesn’t get swamped. 

But, he says, it’s a really good news story for their farmers down south.
