Potato producers get little or no benefit from AHDB

DISGRUNTLED growers have banded together to petition for a ballot on the future of the potato and horticulture levy WITH THE levy-payer vote on the continued role of the Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board now confirmed to take place in both the potato and horticultural sectors, growers have been urged to ‘make their vote count’. With the one levy payer, one vote system set to decide the fate of the AHDB’s ability to collect levies and conduct research and development, knowledge transfer, market analysis and promotion in the two sectors, a series of virtual ‘town hall’ meetings have been organised for early in the new year to help producers make an informed decision.

The future of AHDB Potatoes will be decided early next year when growers and traders get the opportunity to vote in a national ballot. The levy board has confirmed that a yes or no vote on the future of the levy and the work AHDB Potatoes delivers will run for four weeks from mid-February. The move follows valid requests for a ballot from 176 levy-paying potato growing or buying businesses – well above the 5% required. Every potato growing or buying business which has paid levy in the 12 months up to the ballot closing is entitled to one vote. The ballot will be run by an independent company and the results will be submitted to the farming ministers in England, Wales and Scotland, who will decide on the future of the statutory potato levy which currently stands at £42.62 per planted hectare, and 18.58p per tonne for purchase
