Renewed Commodity Levy

The NZ Feijoa Growers Association advises that it intends to apply to renew the Commodity Levies (Feijoa) Order 2020 in 2026.  It is the Association’s intention to apply for an order with the same rate, coverage, and form as the existing order; that is 3% of the price of feijoas sold in New Zealand at the first point of sale, or 3% of the fob value for export feijoas, or 3% of the unprocessed value of feijoas if a grower processes the feijoas on their own account.  All prices are exclusive of GST.

This intention was debated and confirmed at the November 2025 Annual General Meeting of the Association, was reported in the December 2025 members newsletter, and placed on the website.  A discussion paper will be circulated to members in February 2026 with referendum ballot papers circulated shortly after that.  If the application is approved by both members and the Minister it will take effect in 2027.
