Fonterra Shareholders’ Council chairman Blue Read said: “The Shareholders’ Council supports the review group’s proposal to merge the functions of Dairy InSight and Dexcel and we are pleased to see this progressing. The merger should result in greater alignment and accountability, which will be welcomed by farmers.
“However the review group’s report was clear that because of the circumstances that created the need for this review, a fresh start and fresh direction is needed. It is important that the Establishment Board ensures that we don’t simply end up with a recycled version of what we had. The Establishment Board must lead the organisation in a new direction that will give farmers the confidence to support the merger proposal when it is put to the vote in October.”
