ee for service for ware, export and processing has remained as is for 2021–22 with a review in these areas for 2022–23. Over the past few years there has been much discussion around increasing the fee for service for seed. This year the committee has agreed that it would be appropriate to increase the fee for service as of this financial year. Industry consultation is underway and is on the agenda for the next WASPP meeting. Marketing fee for service for the 12 month period (October to October) will be reviewed next month.
