KVH’s consultation on the proposed biosecurity levy increase continues, with growers across the regions taking the opportunity to learn more, ask questions and share their views. Recent meetings have been held in Pukekohe, Waikato, Te Puke, and Gisborne, with constructive discussions focusing on how rebuilding KVH’s biosecurity reserves is essential after five biosecurity responses in the last two years and what it means for growers. See the upcoming meeting schedule here and look out for reminder emails from KVH direct to your inbox. (Unfortunately, our meeting in Motueka last week was affected by weather conditions and cancelled flights, and this has now been rescheduled for Tuesday 11 August). Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the proposal so far.

KVH is reviewing the National Kiwifruit Pathway Management Plan (Pathway Plan) to ensure it remains fit-for-purpose for managing biosecurity risks across the kiwifruit industry. The review will help identify what's working well, where improvements can be made, and which areas should be prioritised for the future. We are seeking feedback from growers, orchard managers, contractors, nursery operators, post-harvest representatives, consultants, and others involved in the kiwifruit industry. The survey takes around five minutes to complete, and everyone who participates can enter a prize draw to win one of two $100 Prezzy cards. Contact details collected for the draw will be kept separate from survey responses and used only for administering the prize draw. Have your say here, by Friday 31 July.
