Commodity Levy

Every six years growers are required to vote in the Commodity Levy to establish continued support for Potatoes New Zealand funding mechanism. As a legal requirement, Potatoes New Zealand connects with growers to inform them of any upcoming Commodity Levy and inform them of the work Potatoes New Zealand does and will continue to do with the support of growers.
