We are so often misled by the barons of Fonterra when they claim 'We have to charge New Zealanders the same prices for dairy products that we are paid by our foreign buyers”.
Well now, not wanting to attack farmers who are going to suffer with the lowered payout, one wonders how long we will have to wait for the punishing retail prices of dairy products in NZ to drop 40 per cent.
Everyone who travels overseas, especially to England, is fully aware the English do not pay the prices we pay here and that's a fact.
Further, they don't have such a heavy freight bill when
distributing around NZ.
