Vote on the future of AHDB Horticulture

Have your voice heard. Should the Horticulture levy continue?

A ‘yes’ is a vote for change and a ‘no’ could see the end of a statutory levy. I encourage you to consider the facts and to use your vote. At a time of immense change, the loss of a central organisation that invests in applied research for the benefit of all would be a considerable loss

Nicholas Saphir, AHDB Chair

A vote ‘Yes’ means	A vote ‘No’
• KEEPING fast-tracked crop protection products, 70% of UK EAMUs and research into emerging pests and diseases	• STOPS – Independent applied research and technical programmes (£30m invested since 2014)
• NEW AHDB governance structure with greater levy-payer say on what we deliver for you	• STOPS – Dedicated EAMU service for UK growers
• NEW levy system reflecting different crop needs	• STOPS – Crisis response for new pests, diseases and industry issues
• YOU get to vote on the levy every 5 years	• STOPS – 13 regional Strategic Centres focused on avoiding crop loss

Well its a vote for the end of a statutory levy, I hope the minister gets the message
