61% of respondents to the AHDB Horticulture levy ballot voted to discontinue the levy
Many growers feel disappointed or disengaged with how their AHDB Horticulture levy is being spent, the NFU has said.
A majority of growers have voted against the continuation of AHDB s statutory horticulture levy, casting further doubt on its future.
The ballot looked at the future existence of AHDB Horticulture and the work it sets out to deliver on behalf of UK growers.
It asked levy payers: Do you agree that the statutory horticulture levy should continue? , offering a simple yes or no answer.
