Mushroom
A levy applies to mushrooms produced in Australia that are either sold by a grower or used by a grower to make other goods.
Levies are collected by the Australian Government and provided to Hort Innovation. Hort Innovation works with growers and industry to invest the levies into agreed priorities. For R&D, this includes Australian Government contributions to support strategic R&D initiatives.
You can find full details on levy rates, and how to lodge a return and make a payment, with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) on the government website.
Hort IQ provides consumer and customer data and insights on Australian horticulture. It is Hort Innovation's new one-stop shop for powerful consumer insights.
