- Significant success in transitioning dairy

commodity products into higher value

infant formula (Gross Profit $781/MT in FY18

from $231/MT in FY09)

- Our strategy is to continue to grow our

core business and diversify into new products,

markets and customers

- Our research shows that fresh dairy products

are high returning products – not as

profitable as infant formula but significantly

better than ingredient products

- The New Zealand domestic fresh milk

market is ripe for innovation

- We have negotiated a contract with

Foodstuffs South Island to exclusively supply

their private label milk, as a first step in this

market

- This ten year contract, together with an initial

volume of export long shelf life cream, will

underpin the development of an advanced

fresh dairy packaging facility at Dunsandel.

This facility will have capacity for us to produce

significant volumes of other liquid dairy products

(RTD infant formula, RTD life stage products)

- As our canned infant formula volumes grow,

we have surplus milk which we will direct

into the liquid facility

STRATEGIC DIVERSIFICATION

- New product development to be supported from our new R+D centre in Palmerston North

- Long life cream export category also presents attractive opportunities which

we intend to pursue
