Our Co-operative


Fonterra’s strength is in the collective | Te Mātāpuna toa takitini
We are a Co-operative created and owned by Aotearoa New Zealand dairy farmers. Since our beginnings, collaboration, innovation, and passion have enabled us to share the goodness of our dairy with the world. We're committed to caring for the land, our animals, and every drop of milk, producing nutritious food with safe, quality ingredients loved here in New Zealand and around the world.


About us | Whakapā mai
Te Awamutu site is the sixth largest producer of dairy ingredients in New Zealand and the main buttermilk producer in Waikato region. During peak season, the site processes 3 million litres of raw milk, 1 million litres of cream & 750,000 litres of buttermilk every day. Each year 90,000 tonnes of milk powder is produced at the site, filling enough bags to span the length of New Zealand three times. The site has transitioned away from coal to be powered on wood pellets reducing the Co-op’s national coal consumption by 10%, saving more than 84,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year – the same as taking 32,000 cars off the road!
