Global Production

Favourable start to the

New Zealand season.

Beginning of new season

in Australia. EU and US

production improve

New Zealand milk

production¹ was up 5.3%

on a litres basis in August

compared to August

last year.

Mild conditions have

contributed to the favourable

start of the season’s

production. However, it is

still early in the season and

season-to-date production

represents only around 9%

of full year production.

New Zealand milk

production for the 12 months

to August was 0.2% lower

than last year.

Fonterra collections are

reported for August, see page

5 for details.

Australia milk

production increased 2.9%

in July compared to July

last year.

A mild winter for much of

Australia and across key

dairy regions in Victoria and

Tasmania have improved

the milk production outlook

for FY21. Dairy Australia has

forecast a 1% to 3% increase

in production for the

2020/21 season.

Australia milk production for

the 12 months to July was

0.6% higher than last year.

Fonterra collections in

Australia are reported for

August, see page 5 for details.

EU (including UK) milk

production increased by

1.5% in July compared to the

same period last year.

The increase in production

was led by France (up 2.7%)

and Ireland (4.4%) and

partially offset by continuing

declines from Italy.

EU milk production for the

12 months to July was down

by 0.2% compared to the

same period last year.

US milk production

increased by 1.8% in August,

compared to the same

period last year.

Increasing herd size

and milk per cow gains

are contributing to the

year-on-year improved US

milk production in August.

Milk production for the

12 months to August was

1.6% higher compared to the

same period last year.

Global Exports

Strong increase in US

and EU monthly exports.

New Zealand and Australia

monthly exports decrease

Total New Zealand

dairy exports decreased

by 6.1%, or 16,413 MT, in

July compared to the same

period last year.

This decrease in exports was

spread across most products

categories and regions

except for increased volumes

of WMP (up 9,479 MT) to

China and South East Asia.

Exports for the 12 months to

July were down by 1.3%, or

45,866 MT, on the previous

comparable period. This was

primarily driven by SMP,

AMF, fluid milk products

and cheese.

EU (including UK)

dairy exports increased

by 17.8%, or 80,757 MT, in

June compared to the same

period last year.

This was driven by

increases across most

product categories but

more specifically in lactose

(up 59%), butter (73.8%),

fluid milk products (25%) and

cheese (15.9%).

Exports for the 12 months

to June were up 5.9%, or

323,745 MT, on the previous

comparable period. Butter,

cheese, fluid milk products

and whey were the main

drivers of this growth, up a

combined 292,954 MT. It was

partially offset by a decline in

SMP of 61,324  MT.

US dairy exports

increased 21.5%, or 38,845  MT,

in July compared to the same

period last year.

Growth in exports volumes

were driven by increased

shipment of SMP to South

East Asia (up 52.8%), and

whey to China (up 25.8%).

Exports for the 12 months to

July 2020 were up 9.8%, or

220,143 MT on the previous

comparable period, driven by

SMP, WPC and lactose, up a

combined 205,435  MT.

Australia dairy exports

decreased by 1.4%, or

836 MT, in July compared to

the same period last year.

This was primarily driven

by infant formula, SMP and

WMP, down a combined

3,248 MT, and partially offset

by fluid milk products, up a

combined 1,422  MT.

Exports for the 12 months

to July were down 8.4%, or

66,391 MT, on the previous

comparable period.

Declines were recorded

across a broad range of

products with SMP, infant

formula, cheese, WMP, whey,

and butter, down a combined

64,594 MT and partially

offset by fluid milk products,

up 11, 170  MT.

Latin America dairy

import volumes¹ increased

20.4%, or 27,568 MT, in June

compared to the same period

last year. This was driven by

higher volumes of cheese and

fluid milk products to Mexico

and Chile, SMP to Cuba and

Columbia, and WMP to Chile,

up a combined 22,435  MT.

Imports for the 12 months to

June 2020 were down 1.6%,

Middle East and Africa

dairy import volumes¹

increased 1.4%, or 4,562  MT,

in June 2020 compared

to the same period last

year. Increases were driven

principally by increased

volumes of WMP and SMP

to Algeria and Nigeria,

up a combined 39,561 MT

and largely offset by lower

volumes of fluid milk

products and infant formula.

Imports for the 12 months to

June 2020 were down 8.8%,

or 357,763 MT, compared

to June last year, driven

by decreases in fluid milk

products, infant formula and

cheese, down a combined

increases in SMP.

China dairy import

volumes increased by

17.6%, or 46,993 MT, in

July compared to the same

period last year.

The increase was the result

of higher volumes of whey,

fluid milk products and

cheese, up a combined

41,184 MT. China is rebuilding

its stocks of whey following

the impact of last year’s

African Swine Flu on whey

consumption as animal feed.

Fonterra Milk Collection

NEW ZEALANDNORTH ISLANDSOUTH ISLANDAUSTRALIA

New Zealand Milk Collection

Fonterra's Australia

collection in August, the

second month of the 2020/21

season, was 7.3 million kgMS,

a 4.1% increase on August

last year.

After a dry start to winter, the

La Niña system developing

for August and into spring has

contributed to the favourable

start to the season.

North Island milk collection

in August was 73.5 million

kgMS, up 3.2% on August

last season.

Season-to-date collection was

101.6 million kgMS, ahead

2.9% on last season

South Island milk collection

in August was 27.2 million

kgMS, up 3.2% on August

last season.

Season-to-date collection was

33 million kgMS, up 4.5% on

last season.

Fonterra's New Zealand

collection for August was

100.7 million kgMS, 3.2%

ahead of the same month

last season.

Season-to-date collection was

134.6 million kgMS, up 3.3%

on the same point last season.

These volumes are small in the

context of the full season, as is

usual at this time of the year.

Generally mild conditions

continued across the country

through August, with

New Zealand experiencing its

warmest winter on record.

Combined with a useful

amount of rain towards the

end of the month, this allowed

good pasture growth and

condition, and supported good

collections for August.

Exploring consumer

trends in China

Fonterra’s quest to keep

up with the fast-paced

consumer market in China

has received a boost,

with the opening of its

refurbished innovation

centre in Shanghai,

dedicated to developing

innovative products suited to

the Chinese market.

It’s a collaboration with

certification and analysis

test centre Anchor Centre

for Certification (ACC)

and will be known as the

Fonterra-ACC Shanghai

Innovation Centre.

It includes a number of

laboratories, complete with

research and development

(R&D) capabilities, and

an analysis and testing

centre. ACC is involved

mainly in food and

agricultural research and

development/product

testing and certifications,

following international food

safety standards.

The Co-operative’s team

will work on product

development for all Fonterra

Greater China’s key dairy

product categories (e.g.

cream, yoghurt, soft

serve, process cheese,

liquid dairy, milk powder).

Their work will include

product development,

sensory testing, consumer

science, nutrition science

and packaging.

Fonterra has been in the

Chinese market for more

than 40 years and working

with ACC to develop this

centre demonstrates

the Co-op’s ongoing

commitment to Chinese

customers and consumers,

which is already extensive.

Fonterra’s ingredients

business NZ Milk Products

(NZMP) provides dairy

products to more than 100

food manufacturers and

its Foodservice business

services 20,000 customers

with more than 400,000

stores in 350 cities

across China.

CEO of Fonterra Greater

China Teh-han Chow says

now with an innovation

centre located within the

country, the Co-operative’s

bringing innovation closer

than ever to Chinese

customers and consumers.

“China is one of the fastest-

growing food and beverage

markets in the world. The

Fonterra-ACC Shanghai

Innovation Centre can

further help our business

be closer to the changes

and preferences of China’s

consumer market, so that we

can develop new products

which meet market needs

more quickly and efficiently,”

says Mr Chow.

Fonterra’s Te Awamutu

site fires up on pellet

power

It’s full steam ahead on

wood pellets at Fonterra’s

Te Awamutu site, with

commissioning underway, as

the site takes the next step in

its transition away from coal.

The Co-operative announced

the Te Awamutu site’s move

to renewable energy at

the beginning of the year,

with the site previously

using a mix of coal, gas and

electricity to process milk.

Fonterra Chief Operating

Officer Fraser Whineray

says sustainability is core to

the Co-operative’s long-

term strategy and while

COVID-19 has presented

some challenges, they’ve

still managed to complete

the decarbonisation project

at Te Awamutu before the

spring milk arrived.

“We did have some delivery

delays with certain offshore

components, and I’m pleased

with the outcome thanks to

our team and suppliers.

“It’s really important

sustainability

investments like this are

maintained despite the

pandemic challenges.”

The move away from coal

at Te Awamutu is part of

Fonterra’s plans to have

net zero emissions at its

manufacturing sites by

2050. Once completed, the

transition at Te Awamutu will

reduce the Co-operative’s

national coal consumption

by almost 10 per cent, saving

more than 84,000 tonnes of

carbon emissions per year –

the same as taking 32,000

cars off the road.

“It’s a positive step towards

meeting our interim target

of achieving a 30 per cent

reduction in emissions by

2030 and shows us what can

be achieved by using wood

biomass to decarbonise our

manufacturing sites.”

Fraser says partnering has

been important in reaching

this sustainability milestone.

“We value our partnerships

with Natures Flame

and Energy Efficiency

Conservation Authority

(EECA) – they are integral to

major projects like this.”

Natures Flame, who produce

the wood pellets, say they

are delighted to have

partnered with Fonterra

to make the change to

sustainable wood pellets as

smooth as possible.

“It’s a great environmental

story on all fronts. Our

pellets are made from

renewable, plantation-based

fibre residues from local

sawmills in the form of

sawdust and shavings. We

use renewable geothermal

energy to transform the

residues into a premium

and reliable fuel, which

customers like Fonterra can

then use to reduce their

greenhouse emissions.

“We welcome Fonterra

as a customer and look

forward to working

together on this and other

future opportunities”, says

John Goodwin, Operations

Manager, Natures Flame.

EECA CEO Andrew Caseley

says industrial process

heat makes up a little over

a quarter of the country’s

energy-related emissions.

“There’s enormous potential

in New Zealand to bring

those emissions down

significantly by moving

away from coal, as Fonterra

is doing.

“This is the largest boiler

conversion project to

biofuels to date, so our

funding via the technology

demonstration programme

will help to derisk it. It also

has the added benefit of

establishing a more viable

and large-scale wood pellet

supply chain.”

Our Performance

Fonterra targets
community support

where it's needed most

Fonterra targets community

support where it's needed

most Fonterra is taking

a new approach to how

it provides nutrition to

communities, to better reach

those most in need across

New Zealand.

CEO Miles Hurrell says, as a

New Zealand farmer owned

co-op, with employees

spread right across regional

New Zealand, Fonterra is

part of many communities.

“We’ve taken a good look at

what the country is facing

into, particularly in the

context of COVID-19, and

asked if our current way of

doing things is supporting

the people who need it most.

“We can see there’s a need

for us to expand our thinking

and take a more holistic

approach that reaches more

people – which is why we’re

making these changes,” says

Mr Hurrell.

As part of its new approach,

Fonterra’s growing KickStart

Breakfast alongside partners

Sanitarium and the Ministry

of Social Development.

There are already more than

1,000 schools in KickStart

Breakfast, and one of

Fonterra’s immediate goals

is to work with partners

to have all decile 1 to 5

schools across the country

in KickStart Breakfast –

reaching another 200

schools – where coming

together over breakfast at

the start of the school day

really makes a difference.

The Co-op’s also extending

supply of dairy nutrition

further into communities

by partnering with

NZ Food Network to

distribute dairy products

to charities, foodbanks and

community partners.

That’s because it’s not just

in schools where Fonterra

can play a role. The Co-op

saw this first-hand during

lockdown earlier this year,

when it redirected close

to one million serves of

Fonterra Milk for Schools

product into communities

through food banks, charities

and other partners. Coming

together with NZ Food

Network allows this work

to continue.

NZ Food Network CEO

Gavin Findlay says “NZFN

is delighted to partner

with Fonterra to deliver

much needed goodness

into the communities of

Aotearoa New Zealand. This

complements our own desire

of ‘getting food to where

it’s needed most’. Working

together, we will strive to

ensure everyone has access

to healthy, nutritious food.”

This refreshed approach

means Fonterra Milk for

Schools, which is for primary

school aged children, will

wrap-up at the end of this

year. It’s something the

Co-op’s loved being a part

of, but Fonterra knows it can

provide more kids access to

dairy nutrition by growing

KickStart Breakfast which

is open to all schools, of

all ages and deciles, across

the country.

“We’ve got a lot of affection

for Fonterra Milk for Schools,

but we have to recognise

through this refresh there’s

a much more efficient,

environmentally focused and

impactful way to get milk to

more kids each day.

“It will be an end of an era

and we’re proud of what

Fonterra Milk for Schools

has achieved but times have

changed and so will we, to

ensure we’re always doing

our best for those who need

it the most,” says Mr Hurrell.

Papatoetoe North School

principal Stan Tiatia says “our

school community makes

high use of the KickStart

Breakfast programme and

for us it is a time for whanau,

staff and children to connect

and start the day in a positive

state. The programme helps

to build community and in

times affected by anxiety

and isolation the KickStart

breakfast time provides an

opportunity for connection

and care. We are grateful for

the work by the KickStart

team and know that our

community is strengthened

by their efforts.”

“These changes reflect

our co-operative heart –

good things happen when

people come together,” says

Mr Hurrell.

Helping to get a COVID
vaccine

When COVID-19 first hit

New Zealand’s shores

Fonterra stepped up to

help make hand sanitiser

and some of its employees

volunteered their time to

make face masks. Now the

Co-op’s offering another

hand – this time to help

develop a vaccine.

Fonterra’s doing that

by lending a crucial

piece of equipment – a

small homogeniser – to

the Covid-19 Vaccine

Corporation (CVC) to help

speed up the company’s

efforts towards producing a

vaccine in New Zealand.

Fonterra Director of

Category, Strategy and

Innovation, Mark Piper, says

it’s good to be able to assist

in such an important cause.

“We always like to help out

where we can, so when the

team came and asked if they

could borrow a homogeniser

from the Fonterra Research

and Development Centre,

we quickly worked to free

up the equipment for CVC.

This could be good not

just for CVC but good for

New Zealand and the rest of

the world.”

CVC Chief Executive

Dr Robert Feldman says

the process of developing a

vaccine requires “the use of

many types of specialised

equipment, some of

which can be challenging

to get access to. We are

therefore very pleased to

be able to access Fonterra’s

resources and apply

sophisticated equipment

to the manufacture of our

vaccine candidate.”

Developing a vaccine is

a technical process that

involves the production

of tiny biobeads that’re

coated in protein or

polypeptide. CVC is coating

these biobeads in carefully

chosen components

from the SARS-Cov-2

virus. The biobeads and

coating are simultaneously

manufactured inside bacteria

which is an efficient method

of production.

Fonterra’s equipment is

being used to break open

the bacteria in which

CVC’s vaccine biobeads are

made. “Once the biobeads

are released, we remove

contaminating bacterial

residues and end up with

a pure vaccine preparation

ready for injection,” says CVC

Chief Operating Officer Dr

Andy Herbert.

The partnership between

Fonterra and CVC

follows the Government’s

announcement that it’s

contributing hundreds

of millions of dollars to

onshore and offshore efforts

to produce and obtain

a COVID-19 vaccine for

New Zealanders and their

Pacific partners.

Dr Robert Feldman says

CVC’s vaccine “uses an

approach that is different

from other candidates being

developed around the world.”

He adds, CVC believes it

“will generate a strong and

broad immune response

while being efficient

to manufacture.”

The company estimates

its first clinical trials would

take place at the start of

2022 and would cost around

$8 million to complete. It’s

already in partnership with

the University of Auckland,

Callaghan Innovation, and

Ardigen. And by getting a

helping hand from Fonterra,

there’s a better chance they’ll

keep that ambitious schedule

to help New Zealanders

against COVID-19.
