■■DAIRY INDUSTRY ■■KIWIFRUIT Bill changes Fonterra’s Russell’s obligation to farmers golden RNZ career Fonterra no longer has to accept milk as a matter of course from anyone wanting to get into dairy farming. Legislation has just been passed in Par- liament amending the 20-year-old Dairy at an end Industry Restructuring Act. It was put in place when Fonterra was formed to overcome issues around a mo- nopoly. The changes will stop Fonterra having to take milk from new dairy farm conversions and also extend its rights to refuse milk from farmers whose standards of conduct fall short. The requirement for Fonterra to supply milk to competing processors so they can get started has also been removed. Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor said the industry had changed considerably over the past two decades, with Fonterra’s market share falling from 96 per cent to about 80.
