If you buy, export, grow, process or sell Australian agricultural produce yourself, or on behalf of another person, you may be liable to pay a levy or export charge.
We collect levies and export charges on behalf of the relevant agriculture industry. The money collected is then disbursed to levy recipient bodies to fund activities that protect and strengthen those industries.
