Fonterra is one of the world's leading dairy exporters. Its branded products are consumed in over 140 countries globally, accounting for one quarter of New Zealand’s total exports. The company has a leading market presence in Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Indonesia and Malaysia, with 95% of its products exported to these and other overseas markets.
