The 2013 Fonterra milk scandal has not diminished the aspirations of the New Zealand firm to play a role in China´s dairy industry. This week Fonterra bought 20% stake in Beingmate, a smart move, says retail analyst Ben Cavender to Reuters.
Reuters:
“Beingmate have pretty good distribution and are definitely known in the market, so this is probably going to help Fonterra,” said Ben Cavender, a Shanghai-based principal at China Market Research Group.
“It could be a big money maker for them but they are also coming into a very competitive market now with consumers that are much more savvy than they were three, four years ago.”
