Introduction

This section details the recovery costs of industry goods from egg processors.

Costs to be recovered from sector

The costs of services provided to the sector are:

Service	Cost	Payable from
New Zealand Standards and Systems	$21,927	All domestic and export processors
Market Access	$2,649	Export processors

No fees are applied to egg processors for industry goods

Cost Recovery options

1. Levy based (eggs processed)

All processors (760 million eggs) $0.029 per thousand eggs

Export processors (22.8 million eggs) $0.316 per thousand eggs

2. Fixed annual charge

All processors (105 processors) $209 p.a.

Export processors (3) $2,403 p.a. per processor

Consideration could be given to differential charges based on size of business (small, medium, large). Currently NZFSA does not have enough accurate information available to base such a charge on.
