A paper prepared for State Owned Enterprises Minister Trevor Mallard in response to the Treasury paper on using State Owned Enterprises as mechanisms to promote economic growth (try saying that three times), uses data developed by Coriolis for the Food & Beverage Taskforce:

“There is no comprehensive profile of the ownership of large and mid-sized New Zealand companies, but one indicator of scale and ownership is that compiled by Coriolis Research in relation to the food and beverage sector. One company – Fonterra – accounts for forty percent of sector revenue, the top ten account for two-thirds and the top thirty a massive 85 percent of the total.”
