'Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd' (), generally known simply as 'Fonterra', is New Zealand's largest company by turnover. As a cooperative company, Fonterra is owned by approximately twelve thousand farmers throughout the country. It is the fifth-largest dairy company in the world, and the most influential by far when it comes to determining international dairy trade, handling 40% of all international dairy trade.
Fonterra was established in October 2001 through a merger of the two largest New Zealand dairy cooperatives and the New Zealand Dairy Board. The purpose of the merger was to create a single company to manage the supply chain for a significant proportion of the New Zealand dairy industry.
The company has an annual turnover of around US$8 billion. Its core business consists of exporting dairy products under the NZMP brand (95% of its New Zealand production is exported). It also operates a fast-moving consumer goods business for dairy products, Fonterra Brands. Fonterra has a number of subsidiaries and joint-venture companies operating in markets around the world.
