About NZMP
NZMP is the brand Fonterra sells dairy ingredients under: milk powders, proteins, butters and cheeses bought by other food manufacturers rather than by shoppers. It is invisible on shelves and enormous in trade, and after the 2026 sale of the consumer business it is one of the two brands the co-operative has left.

About the owner: Fonterra
Fonterra is a cooperative headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, founded in 2001. Brandtree records 2 brands under its control, and it is listed as NZX: FCG.
Fonterra is a co-operative owned by New Zealand dairy farmers and collects most of the country's milk, which makes it central to an economy where dairy is the largest goods export. It sold its global consumer business — Anchor, Mainland and the rest — to Lactalis on 31 March 2026 and returned $3.2 billion of the proceeds to its farmer shareholders, describing itself afterwards as a New Zealand farmer-owned global business-to-business dairy provider. It retains the Anchor consumer brand in Greater China, and now sells to customers worldwide under NZMP and Anchor Food Professionals.
🇳🇿 NZMP and other New Zealand brands
