Fonterra’s consumer business, led by Anchor, is marking 5 years in China this week.

How do you find the most delicious, creative and beautiful cake in China? We asked 12 million people to tell us.

China is a big, exciting and potentially highly lucrative market, but if you’re a Kiwi company looking to have a crack, it can be tough to know where to start. There are a few pointers that’ll set you on the right track.

Products from Fonterra’s Anchor range have become the first to be shipped as part of a pilot of Alibaba’s Food Trust Framework, using blockchain technology to improve supply chain traceability and transparency.

With our global cream cheese sales up 24% on last year and demand still increasing, Fonterra’s Darfield site has welcomed 16 new employees who will operate the first of its two new cream cheese plants.

NZMP, Fonterra’s dairy ingredient business, has recently set up a medical nutrition and healthy ageing division to develop science-based solutions that help to treat people who are suffering malnutrition, cancer and other diseases, as well as to help people age in good health.

Fonterra has been judged New Zealand’s top co-operative business of the year, and praised for a “stunning financial turnaround, generous social responsibility programmes and a high profile campaign proudly proclaiming its Kiwi farmer-owned, co-operative status”.

New Zealand has been described as China’s “most important” dairy partner at the China-NZ Dairy Forum held recently in Nanjing.
