Global nutrition giant benefits from favorable dairy markets in New Zealand amid strong milk prices.
Danone Nutricia, a leading player in specialized nutrition, is experiencing positive momentum in New Zealand’s dairy sector, thanks to improving global dairy commodity prices. The company, which sources milk locally for its operations in Auckland and Waikato, has reported strong performance tied to the sector’s broader recovery.
Farmgate milk prices in New Zealand have shown resilience in recent months, reflecting robust demand and tightening global supply. Danone’s general manager for New Zealand operations, Cyril Marniquet, noted that while the past year was challenging, current trends are favorable, and the company is confident in the stability of the local dairy supply chain.
Danone Nutricia collects about 70 million liters of milk annually, sourcing exclusively from New Zealand dairy farms. It produces specialized medical nutrition and infant formula products, much of which is exported to international markets. Its dependence on premium-quality milk aligns with the country’s reputation for grass-fed, high-protein dairy.
The company has taken a long-term view of sustainability and supply security, investing in regenerative agriculture partnerships with farmers. Marniquet emphasized the importance of building mutually beneficial relationships, especially as Danone strives to align its sourcing practices with both nutritional needs and climate resilience.
As global dairy markets show signs of recovery, Danone Nutricia is positioning itself to expand its product reach and strengthen its foothold in the region. The company’s success reflects a broader optimism across the New Zealand dairy industry, which continues to attract global investment.
