We absolutely sell in those markets. Grass fed beef and A2 milk are two examples. If you’ve been overseas, you can look for “New Zealand” on menus to see what’s considered higher quality than a commodity.
I don’t know, but I don’t think it matters. It’s easy to switch to if your main market is taken up from lab milk, A2 and Fontera actually fought each other as Fonterra blocked them from encouraging farmers to breed A2 cows. If needed we could solve that.

I will be very surprised if this change comes so fast we can’t handle it like normal market changes.
I don’t think we are handling normal market changes very well.
