Update your member details

If you are a levy collector, you will need to use this form - the Buyer Created Invoice - to tell us how much levy has been collected.

If you are a grower and have made direct sales (that is, by yourself), you will need to fill out our Direct Levy Payment form and work out the amount you need to pay. Once you have done this, you can pay online by credit card.

The brochure Guide to the Vegetable and Fruit Commodity Levy is a guide for all growers and collection agents who are responsible for paying or collecting the levy on fruit and vegetables.

For more detailed information on the HortNZ levy, growers should call 0508 467 869.

Register as a new grower

Commercial fruit and vegetable growers are expected to contribute a levy from sales of fruit and vegetables (14 cents from every $100 in sales) to fund the work of HortNZ. 

If you are a new grower, you should register with HortNZ to ensure you receive the benefits of your levy payments. These include:

  • HortNZ monitoring changes in government policy on your behalf, promoting the development of the industry, making submissions to central and regional government, giving policy advice and influencing change for your benefit as a grower.
  • Subscription to HortNZ's industry magazine: NZGrower & Orchardist.
  • Subscription to a weekly industry e-newsletter, containing advice and information for growers on current issues and upcoming events.
  • Direct access to HortNZ staff for advice on industry matters.
