Global Dairy Trade ownership changes completed

Global Dairy Trade ownership changes completed

The Global Dairy Trade marketing platform now has three equal owners instead of one. 

The trading platform was created and owned by New Zealand-based Fonterra Cooperative Group but was kept separate from the milk production cooperative business.  In February, GDT announced plans to split the ownership equally with the New Zealand Exchange and the European Energy Exchange.  The new ownership begins Thursday, June 30th now that all three boards of directors and government regulators have approved of the plan.
