Pig levy likely to increase
1 Aug 2005
Australian Pork Limited, the national pork industry representative body is talking to producers about lifting the Pig Residue Levy from 8.5 cents to 17.7 cents a carcass.
APL said not enough money was raised to cover the residue monitoring program's costs. The levy has not increased since its inception in 1993. APL said if pig monitoring program costs could not be covered, the program would be suspended by the government, making it impossible to sell Australian pork domestically or internationally.
