Australian agricultural industry levy proposals

Overview

Various Australian agricultural sectors are considering significant increases to industry levies to fund research, development, and biosecurity.

In the goat industry, the Goat Industry Council of Australia (GICA) has proposed raising the levy from 37.7 cents to 90 cents per head. GICA President John Falkenhagen stated this increase is “essential to safeguard the industry’s future” through investments in marketing, biosecurity, and research. Producers are scheduled to vote on this measure during the Meat and Livestock Australia annual general meeting in November.

Similarly, Cattle Australia (CA) has proposed a $1 increase to the grass-fed cattle levy. CA CEO Will Evans indicated the increase is intended to address a funding shortfall for the National Research Station (NRS).
