Fonterra previously announced plans to divest the joint venture farms in a move to prioritise New Zealand milk.
The newly announced deal with AustAsia follows the sale of Fonterra’s wholly owned China farming hubs, which was completed earlier this year.
“The sale of the JV farms allows us to focus even more on our farmer owners’ milk and follows the sale of our two wholly owned China farming hubs earlier this year,” said Fonterra CEO, Miles Hurrell.
According to Fonterra, the sale of the JV farms requires no further regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to be completed on 30 June.
