The select committee recommended one exception to the removal of open entry. The committee considered that Fonterra should still be required by law to accept any application to become a shareholder and supply milk where the applicant was a first-time farmer. We do not intend to support this particular change to the bill. It is undoubtedly important to have succession planning in the dairy industry to ensure that new farmers can enter the industry, but I do not believe that this proposal is the best way to achieve that. The committee itself recognised that there would be difficulty in getting a definition of "first-time farmer" correct. If the definition of "first-time farmer" is too wide, there is a risk that Fonterra could be required to give open entry to corporate firms; too narrow, and there is a risk of excluding the people who are intended to benefit.
