The Fonterra Shareholders’ Council has welcomed the co-operative’s announcement of an increase in both the forecast payout and the advance payout rate for milk.
Fonterra Co-operative Group announced a 20 cent increase in its forecast payout from $3.85 per kilogram of milk solids to $4.05 and a 10c increase in the advance payout rate for milk to $2.90 kg/ms.
Shareholders’ Council chairman John Monaghan said: “Shareholders and the Council are always pleased to hear good news.
