Fonterra is a co op - you are literally buying from the farmers as directly as is sane. Seriously I wish people would stop just going “you should just have Uber for X” every time they hear about something that isn’t advertised as “Uber for X”

The alternative (directly dealing with numerous separate farmers) and then finding a company to do the transport and processing would be stupidly inefficient.

Are you? Fonterra are a terrible company and I do t believe that many farmers would be pleased with the management of Fonterra.
