I'm guessing this is a period of lull before next set of whirlwind...
I really don't think much will happen in next couple of weeks. Today is last day of FY so positions being taken. All eyes on FY15 results in August. Interesting times with Greece and KMD all playing out this week
Fonterra's options are limited. It's not flush with money at the moment, and for the past several years it has publicly rubbished the science underlying A2 even though its own chief scientist helped uncover the health benefits of A2.
It has always used the "no comment" response regarding a2MC and A2 milk. It really doesn't want to go there. It probably doesn't mind too much as long as A2 is promoted as just a niche product that caters for a small minority who have digestive problems. A2 isn't eroding Fonterra's markets at present, so there's no pressure on it to get involved at this stage.
What it would probably like is for a2MC to be taken over by a consortium that is internally divided and doesn't understand what to do with it, thus slowing down the momentum it has just begun to develop after a pretty rocky first decade.
Thanks Mr NT001; sensible observations. Somehow I don't think A2 management will let the grass grow under its feet.( No Pun.) Fonterra is like methuselahs: Serious innovation isn't in its'" to do" list. A2 has shown more of it in 10 years than Fonterra has in 50. JVs to distribute 56 lb bags of powder with local agents are still part of the strategy Id guess. Snooze.
