This Order, consisting of 31 sections, imposes a levy on asparagus planted in New Zealand by commercial asparagus growers. The levy is payable to the New Zealand Asparagus Council Incorporated. The amount of levy payable by a commercial asparagus grower in a levy year is the amount calculated in accordance with the following formula where: the area of land in hectares (expressed to 2 decimal places in the case of any part hectare) is occupied by the commercial asparagus grower and planted with asparagus: a) in relation to the first levy year, as at the commencement of this order; b) in relation to any later levy year, as at 30 September in that levy year; the rate of levy for the levy year is fixed by or in accordance with clause 10. The levy is to be paid at a single rate. The maximum rate of the levy is $200 per hectare of asparagus (excluding GST). The minimum levy payment is the amount (excluding GST) that would be calculated under clause 6 on 1 hectare of asparagus.
