The removal of open entry requirements will allow Fonterra to take a more competitive stance in the market. As National, we support competition in the knowledge that it generally brings out the best in business. Competition I see as the catalyst for innovation and excellence. The fact that other dairy entities have entered the market and through good practice have reduced Fonterra's market share shows the market works. To enable Fonterra to be able to make a more competitive stance, the removal of the open entry requirements is critical. This will allow Fonterra to better consider each application against their own quality supply requirements. That is a good thing. Equally, the open exit provisions will enable farmers to move between the best providers as they see fit. This will ensure Fonterra and its internal competitors maintain attractive conditions to enable real farmer choice.
