The future of the AHDB in the horticulture sector is looking shaky, after a majority of levy payers voted against paying a levy to support the organisation’s work.
A ballot was triggered last October when more than 5% of the AHDB’s 1,400 horticultural levy payers made a request for one.
It asked for a simple “yes” or “no” to the question “Do you agree that the statutory horticulture levy should continue?”, and was administered by independent company UK Engage.
Results published on Tuesday evening (15 February) showed more than two-thirds of eligible levy payers cast a vote and, of those, 61% rejected the continuation of the levy, while 39% were in favour.
