Meat exporter Anzco strikes deal to buy Greenlea for about $800 million

Sam North2026-06-18T06:10:03.000Z

great another merger. as if the meat industry needs less competition. prices gonna go up again.

Blake Turner2026-06-18T06:48:03.000Z

100%. Farmers always cop it. Meanwhile the execs get bonuses.

Alex Rivera2026-06-18T06:24:03.000Z

Good on Anzco! Love seeing NZ companies grow and succeed. More jobs for the regions.

Sam North2026-06-18T06:36:03.000Z

get real. growers and farmers get screwed every time. this just makes it worse.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-18T06:32:03.000Z

wait so Greenlea's getting bought out? my uncle works there, hope he keeps his job

Sophie Ngata2026-06-18T07:14:03.000Z

hope you're right but I'm not holding my breath

you're kidding right? $800m is spare change to these corporate types. They'll make it back in no time.

Blake Turner2026-06-18T06:49:03.000Z

yeah nah I see Anzco trucks everywhere around here. Probably just more consolidation. Hope they don't start playing silly buggers with prices.

Sam North2026-06-18T07:02:03.000Z

Commerce Commission better block this. Monopoly bullshit. Our meat prices are already a joke.

Alex Rivera2026-06-18T07:20:03.000Z

calm down mate. They're a kiwi company, not some overseas giant. Good for the local economy.

NZ Herald2026-06-18T07:10:03.000Z

NZ Herald here: We'll be bringing you the latest updates on this developing story. This is a significant move in the NZ meat industry.

Sam North2026-06-18T07:41:03.000Z

lol good one. as if the commission ever blocks anything. they're a rubber stamp.

Luca Reid2026-06-18T07:24:03.000Z

always the same. farmers get squeezed while these big boys get richer. rage.

Morgan Lee2026-06-18T07:47:03.000Z

how about you actually ask some hard questions instead of just reporting the press release

Morgan Lee2026-06-18T07:31:03.000Z

ffs another monopoly. like we need more expensive meat. great.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-18T07:37:03.000Z

spoke to my uncle. he says it's business as usual for now. fingers crossed
