You don’t have to be a country to sell GMO free produce.
By market, I meant the market for a product, not a physical place - the market for milk powder vs the market for premium ice cream for example.
I wouldn’t say any day, but it will happen. Fonterra ignoring it demonstrates a lack of foresight - illustrating one of the reasons we’re bad at capitalism.
Don’t know the percentage of the top of my head, but milk powder (or casein derived from milk powder) is used in paints, paper manufacturing, textiles, it’s used a an ingredient for a whole bunch of things in labs, packaging, an additive to some plastics, in some places an additive to concrete, it’s used in cosmetics. Whey is used to produce industrial alcohol (Fonterra used to make this, don’t know if they still do). It’s got a lot of non-food related uses.
And even in the food industry, corporations like Nestle aren’t going to care where it comes from when they’re using it to adjust fat or protein content in the vast majority of their foods.
