Fonterra is staring down the barrel of a significant loss if it sells off a portion of its stake in Chinese company Beingmate.
SUPPLIED Happier days in 2015 when Wang Zhentai (Beingmate chairman), Fonterra CEO Theo Spierings, then Prime Minister John Key and Song Kungang (chairman of China Dairy Industry Association) celebrated the partnership.

The dairy giant has announced it cannot find a buyer for the entire shareholding, and was therefore hoping to sell a portion on the sharemarket.
In April this year Beingmate’s share price was at a year-high level of 8.17 yuan, but had since fallen to 4.94 on Wednesday.
The dairy giant paid $750 million for its 18.8 per cent shareholding in March 2015, in a bid to gain access to Chinese consumers for its infant formula.
