Fonterra — Whanganui / Longburn Processing Plant (Manawatu-Whanganui, North Island, NZ)

Fonterra's Longburn facility near Palmerston North / Whanganui in the Manawatu region, North Island, New Zealand. This plant processes Manawatu and Whanganui region milk into milk powders and other commodity dairy ingredients. The North Island's Waikato and Manawatu regions are Fonterra's highest-volume milk collection catchments, as these areas have the largest concentration of New Zealand's dairy farm country. Longburn is a key throughput facility in Fonterra's milk powder manufacturing network — disruptions here (fire, flooding, mechanical failure) immediately affect Fonterra's ability to meet GDT auction commitments.
