Agriculture co-operatives continue to grow

15 April 2015

With the release of IBISWorld’s 2014 Top 1000 Companies list last month, numerous agriculture co-operatives have increased their ranking in the influential list. Murray Goulburn, a BCCM member, has shot up 28 places at 130th, up from 158th spot last year. The New Zealand co-operative Fonterra, is at 16th place in the list. This compares to other well-known brands who placed much lower in the list including the fat food outlet, McDonald’s at 248th place.

The IBISWorld’s Top 1000 Companies list is an overview of the country’s biggest firms, and provides an insight into the industries that have been making their mark on the Australian economy in 2014.
