Hardly. I think BlackPeter made a fair enough point. My thought processes were confined to the final product.

Good question ... didn't catch up with him since the virus scare. They do have another factory in Taiwan, i.e. might have as well some flexibility what to send from where.
I guess my main point was that A2 is very well dependent on ingredients from overseas suppliers.
Guess as well it won't stop here. Wondering whether the tins and the paper bags and the plastic lids are made in NZ. The odds are they are not.
Points of particular interest, firstly: "Chinese consumption of staple food products, including dairy, is reported to have increased substantially due to the Coronavirus crisis, including those sourced from New Zealand and Australian dairy."
Secondly: "As to the impact of the Coronavirus on the Keytone business, Keytone’s Chief Executive Officer, Danny Rotman commented: “Whilst we are carefully monitoring the Coronavirus outbreak in China and we hope that the health crisis abates quickly, at present it has had an immaterial impact on the Keytone business.”
"Rather, we have seen a noticeable increase in demand for immunity boosting nutritional products, particularly those bound for China, and we are in a unique position to respond to these changing customer demands through our experienced in-house product development team. We look forward to further updating the market on our new immunity style product development efforts in response to Coronavirus in the near term."
Not our company, of course. But, there's little reason to think tomorrow's update won't read along similar lines.
From the HC site, a BUB's trading update posted by Arms
NOVEL CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) IMPACT
Whilst it is too early to quantify any future impact, to date Bubs Australia has seen no diminution of
demand and minimal disruption to the business due to the Coronavirus outbreak. The Company has
monitored its operations and the market closely, and makes the following observations:
• Infant formula is perceived as an essential pantry item as it is a key food source for babies. As a
trusted premium international brand with transparent supply chain visibility, BubsŪ is well placed to
appease Chinese parents’ heightened focus on food security and their children’s health and immunity.
Looking forward to the ATM update tomorrow.
lol. Thanks Couta. FWIW, the day to day fluctuations in ATM are of less interest to me.... my investing is all about long term capital gains and for that reason the Bub's update is more relevant.
I tend to post much less these days as my ATM holding is all free held and my risk level is much lower than other posters.
Best wishes to all for tomorrow.
