It’s not just about milk anymore.

Fonterra CEO Miles Hurrell opens up about steering the export giant through geopolitical turbulence, shifting consumer demands, and the push for sustainability.

After a rocky ride in the late 2010s, Fonterra has refined what it’s selling and who it's selling to. With an aging global population and a wellness boom, Fonterra is ramping up investment in R&D to pursue products for health and medical nutrition. Miles describes the opportunities presented by Southeast Asia's growing middle class, even amidst Trump's looming tariffs and a shakier Chinese market. 

Plus, hear about Fonterra’s complex journey towards sustainability—trialling electric tankers, getting rid of coal, and the race to reduce methane emissions.
