Vote on the future of AHDB Potatoes

Have your voice heard. Should the Potatoes 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 ‘Yes’ vote means
• KEEPING independent storage research, agronomy and crop protection work
• MORE levy-payer say on what we deliver for you and reduced costs
• NEW proposed changes to the potato levy system including flood relief on levy payments
• YOU get to vote on the levy every five years

A ‘No’ vote
• STOPS – £1.8m a year of independent research on storage, agronomy and crop protection
• STOPS – Consumer marketing campaigns and export market development
• STOPS – Educating 420,000 children a year with Grow Your Own Potatoes
• STOPS – SPot Farms, Fight Against Blight and one-to-one store visits
