"In 2024, Fonterra reported that emissions from its New Zealand dairy farms were 20 percent higher per kilo of milk than their Australian counterparts. This challenges the common refrain that New Zealand produces the world’s lowest carbon dairy." […]

New Zealand’s Fonterra to sell consumer business to Lactalis for $2.2 billion (Reuters) -New Zealand’s Fonterra Co-operative Group will sell its global consumer and associated businesses to French dairy major Lactalis for NZ$3.845 billion ($2.24 billion), the company said on Friday. The sale includes Fonterra’s global consumer business, encompassing the operations of brands such as Mainland and Anchor butter, Kapiti ice cream and cheese and the Anlene powdered milk supplement. The transaction also covers the dairy company’s Foodservice and Ingredients businesses in Oceania and Sri Lanka, along with its Middle East and Africa Foodservice operations. In November, Fonterra had announced a dual-track plan to either sell the units or list them through an initial public offering (IPO) to refocus on its core activity of processing milk domestically. Sources told Reuters in May that several companies, including Japan’s Meiji, Canada’s Saputo and Lactalis, were mulling bids for the units. U.S. private equity firm Warburg Pincus was also among the interested parties. Fonterra Chairman Peter McBride said in a statement on Friday that the company had "thoroughly tested" the terms and value of both a trade sale and an IPO over the past 15 months. "Alongside a strong valuation for the businesses being divested, the sale allows for a full divestment of the assets by Fonterra, and a faster return of capital to the Co-op’s owners, when compared with an IPO," he added. Fonterra said the deal value could potentially increase by NZ$375 million if the Bega licences held by its Australian business are included. The company is targeting a tax-free capital return of NZ$2 per share following the sale’s completion. The deal, subject to approval from Fonterra’s farmer shareholders and regulatory authorities, is expected to close in the first half of 2026.

Australia’s Bega Cheese to seek regulator nod for potential Fonterra Oceania acquisition (Reuters) -Dairy firm Bega Cheese said on Monday it plans to seek informal merger clearance from Australia’s competition watchdog of a potential acquisition of its peer Fonterra’s Oceania business. In November, New Zealand-based Fonterra announced plans to sell or list the units to sharpen its focus on core milk processing operations, with the divestment potentially valued at around NZ$4 billion ($2.41 billion). "Bega Group hopes to work constructively with Fonterra Group on the sale of its Oceania businesses of which Bega Group is the natural acquirer and in which it remains very interested", Bega Cheese said in a statement. Fonterra did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. In early May, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) began an informal review of Lactalis’ proposed bid for Fonterra’s assets, even though the French dairy giant said it had not signed any deal with the New Zealand-based firm. Reuters reported in May that Lactalis, Japan’s Meiji and Canada’s Saputo were expected to bid for Fonterra’s global consumer businesses, including the operations and marketing of brands such as Mainland and Anchor butter, Kapiti ice cream and cheese and Anlene powdered milk supplement.
