Commodity Levy

New Strawberries Commodity Levy Order

Strawberry Growers New Zealand Inc. is consulting with potential levy payers on a proposal for a new strawberry commodity levy to continue to fund the work we do for growers. The proposed levy will be the same as the current levy which expires in March 2026.

The levy funds activities including:

• biosecurity
• research and development
• food safety
• export market access and intelligence
• strawberry plant evaluation
• industry representation
• management and administration of SGNZ.

Following the consultation period, a referendum will be held on the proposal. Voting will be held between 16 June and 7 July (noon). You will receive your voting pack by email, or by post if you have not provided an email address. Keeping your contact details current ensures you stay informed and don’t miss any critical communications. Send any updates to info@strawbsnz.co.nz as soon as possible.
