The New Zealand Grape Growers Council, at the Annual General Meeting in Hawke’s Bay on 26 August 2015, resolved that:

1. The levy on the year 2016 harvest, in accordance with the Commodity Levies (Winegrapes) Order 2010, be set at 0.675% + GST as follows:
1. In the case of grape juice or grape juice concentrate, 0.675% + GST of the notional price determined by the Council as per the Order.
2. In the case of grapes exported from New Zealand, 0.675% + GST of the FOB value before deduction of any costs or charges.
3. In the case of grapes sold, 0.675% + GST of the farm gate price before the deduction of any costs or charges.
2. The notional pricing for grape juice and grape juice concentrate for the year 2016 vintage be the 75% quartile price for the region and variety concerned as determined by the previous vintage listed in the last published version of the New Zealand Winegrowers grape price data for the previous vintage. In the event that there are no listings of the variety and region concerned in previous Statistical Annuals, the notional pricing will be the 75% quartile price for New Zealand for the variety concerned, as determined by the previous vintage listed in the last published version of the New Zealand Winegrowers grape price data for the previous vintage.
