The levy is applicable to all fresh fruit exported or sold locally, including gate sales. Processed fruit does not incur
a levy.
The levy is payable by pipfruit growers who sell

The company or individual who exports or first sells the fruit is required to deduct the levy and forward payment to Pipfruit Growers New Zealand Incorporated within 90 days of sale or export.
A detailed information pack was sent on 14 March 2001 to all growers, exporters and local market traders.
