Horticulture New Zealand held a referendum in 2018 asking growers to vote on a new compulsory levy affecting all fruit and vegetables commercially grown in New Zealand.

 

Growers voted "YES" to the levy, which came into effect in April 2019.

 

HortNZ represents New Zealand’s 5500 fruit and vegetable growers on industry-wide issues. The organisation was formed out of the merger of the New Zealand Vegetable and Potato Growers' Federation (Vegfed) and the New Zealand Fruitgrowers Federation (NZFF) in 2005.
