Fonterra will be applying for consents to build a new high-efficiency milk powder plant at its Pahiatua site to process an additional 2.5 million litres each day.
Fonterra Director NZ Operations Brent Taylor said the proposal for a third drier would help ease peak processing pressure in the lower North Island.
Our two existing driers at Pahiatua are already running at capacity, processing 1.4 million litres a day, and for the past 12 years we have had to send at least 1.6 million litres a day
