Leveraging AQ Assured: A Grass-Fed Story of Meadow Fresh
Meadow Fresh, a well-recognized local dairy brand with a history of over 50/80 years in New Zealand, sought to export products to the vast and complex Chinese market. The challenge was to differentiate itself in a market dominated by well-established dairy giants. Their strategy? Emphasizing their certified grass-fed milk supply, endorsed by New Zealand government owned assurance company, AsureQuality.
