Listen "Beyond milk: Fonterra's next frontier"
Episode Synopsis
It’s not just about milk anymore. Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell opens up about steering the export giant through geopolitical turbulence, shifting consumer demands, and the push for sustainability. After a rocky ride in the late 2010s, Fonterra has refined what it’s selling and who it's selling to. With an aging global population and a wellness boom, Fonterra is ramping up investment in R&D to pursue products for health and medical nutrition. Miles describes the opportunities presented by Southeast Asia's growing middle class, even amidst Trump's looming tariffs and a shakier Chinese market. Plus, hear about Fonterra’s complex journey towards sustainability—trialling electric tankers, getting rid of coal, and the race to reduce methane emissions.
