New Zealand’s Fonterra has retained its position as No 4 among the world’s top 20 dairy companies, a new survey shows.
The 2013 Rabobank survey shows Nestle, of Switzerland, remains the world’s biggest dairy company, with French giants Danone and Lactalis second and third respectively.
The top four places had been unchanged since 2007, Rabobank said.
Nestle extended its lead at the top of the table, with the purchase of Pfizer’s infant-nutrition business contributing to 23 per cent revenue growth in dairy sales last year.
Behind Fonterra in fifth spot is Friesland-Campina, of the Netherlands, and at No 6 is Dairy Farmers of America, both positions unchanged since last year.
Arla Foods, of Denmark-Sweden, moved up one place to No 7.
United States company Dean Foods also moved up one spot to hit No 8, and Canadian company Saputo jumped three places to No 9.
Japan’s Meiji remains at 10 and Unilever is unchanged at 11.
The Chinese dairy producers continue their march up the table, with Yili now in 12th position from 15th last year, and state-owned Mengniu at 15 from 16 last year.
A new player from Japan has appeared in the top 20, with Morinaga debuting at 13.
Sodiaal, of France, is unchanged at 14.
Kraft Foods, of the US, has slumped from 9th last year to 16.
Germany’s DMK is in 17th position from 13th last year.
