Royalty Rates

Seed sown from 30th June – 31st January is due for submission and payment by the following 31st January.
Spring Crops are due for submission and payment by the following 30th June.

Rates of Royalty Payable

Payment rates are traditionally on average 50% of the full rate payable on certified seed. This aims to strike a balance between farmers right to save seed and the contribution of modern plant breeding to the significant genetic gains enjoyed by growers.
