Explanatory note
This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
This order, which comes into force on 7 January 2021, imposes a levy on feijoas produced in New Zealand by commercial growers for commercial purposes.
Commercial growers are primarily responsible for the payment of the levy. However, if a commercial grower sells feijoas to a collection agent, the collection agent must pay the levy and recover it from the commercial grower. The levy is payable to New Zealand Feijoa Growers Association Incorporated.
