Grower rebate program
Each year we plan our budget and balance costs and expenditure against receiving an average sized harvest and allowing for ongoing investment in the network (the five-year average).
At the end of the financial year once the Group’s financial position is known, surplus funds may be set aside for network investment or other future needs and, if not required, returned back to our grower members in the form of a rebate.
