This government hates farmers

Fronterra was the worst thing to happen to the industry, its too big for its own good.
We were better off with more players in the sector.

That leads to international customers playing one seller off against another effectively dragging the returns down to those asked by the weakest player.

It may have worked for a while, but over time, they seem to be screwing everyone down. I know alot of farmers who feel let down by them.
