January 25, 2010

Since July 2008, CRA has managed globalDairyTrade, the Internet-based trading platform that CRA designed for Fonterra, a leading global dairy company. The monthly international trading events have attracted Fonterra’s customers from around the world and have sold a variety of dairy products.

On January 8, 2010, Fonterra announced that sales on globalDairyTrade reached $1 billion. This is a significant milestone that reinforces globalDairyTrade’s growing reputation as an electronic trading platform that delivers improved price transparency, forward price information, and enhanced price risk management.
