Where does my levy go?

tools and resources

Your levy goes on targeted programmes that deliver real results for Kiwi sheep and beef farmers – on the farm, in the market, and at the policy table.  

A key part of our strategic plan involves building a stronger presence in the regions to help us stay connected with farmers.

That way we can ensure we're providing tools, services and information that are relevant to you, and add value to your farming business.

We are 100 per cent focused on continuing to find more effective and efficient ways of delivering benefit to you, and safeguarding the future of our industry.
