Feds Says Shanghai Maling Decision Sensible For New Zealand
Source: Federated Farmers
--
New Zealand will enjoy benefits from the approval for Shanghai Maling Aquarius to acquire a 50 percent ownership stake
in Silver Fern Farms.
Federated Farmers Meat & Fibre Chair Rick Powdrell says it’s a sensible decision for the country and aligns the company better to service the
needs of global markets in a modern world.
"New Zealand farmer-shareholders will continue to own 50 percent of the co-operative and will enjoy the benefits of
access to the growing Chinese market.
"This is exactly what the farmer-shareholders wanted, with a majority voting last month for the deal to be approved,"
says Rick.
