Fonterra will give every schoolchild in New Zealand free milk.
All 350,000 primary school children throughout New Zealand will be offered a free serving of milk every school day from next year, as part of the nationwide Fonterra Milk for Schools program, the dairy co-operative announced this week.
Fonterra Chief Executive Theo Spierings said that after a trial run in Northland, Fonterra had decided to roll out the program to all 2,000 primary schools throughout the country, beginning next year.
