LIC shares are listed on the NZX. To be a shareholder in LIC, you have to farm dairy cows in New Zealand, supply a New Zealand milk processor and buy a minimum amount of qualifying products and services from LIC in any one year.
As a farmer-owned co-operative, all of our profit is returned to our farmer owners/shareholders in dividends, or reinvested for new solutions, and research and development
