A second deal will see Bellamy’s source organic milk from an affiliate of Australian Consolidated Milk.
The third contract is with a second business that manufactures for Bellamy’s, the Australian group Tatura Milk Industries. The deal will see an organic component added to their existing arrangements.
“We believe the rising demand for our brand and high quality, premium organic infant formula in Australia, China and emerging Asia can become an important and value-added platform for Australian farmers,” Bellamy’s CEO Andrew Cohen said.
The deal with Fonterra will see Bellamy’s take the first 20 million litres of milk from the organic milk pool a year. The business will have first rights over additional volume.
