[QUOTE="AIMS, post: 7491113, member: 157044"] The short answer is that of the 18 Directors of RT, just AHDB makes a financial contribution. This was also clear when Jim Mosely spoke at the 'consultation' event we attended when, in answer to a question on funding he said that 50% is from farmers, 45% is from royalties and 5% is from AHDB. For the record, AHDB's funding is £249,000.00 per annum at present. We understand that this is proportioned across the levy sectors and that Beef & Lamb's contribution is £60K. We are unnsure what Pig's contribution is. In the main, we believe, the NFU pull the strings of RT and yet offer no direct funding. Suppose their argument would be that their members who are in RT are providing the NFU funding into RT! What we'd like to know is what AHDB's £249,000.00 is spent on. Is it used for rent on RT's offices and some of their staff, or can it be attributed to marketing activity for the levy that is funding that activity. [/QUOTE]
