Background
Regulatory fees and charges for agriculture exports sector increases in 2021-22 after several years of under recovery.
The CRIS committed to returning full cost recovery by 2023-24 with annual stepped increases that enable reforms to be rolled out while maintaining existing systems. - A stepped return to full cost reover will ease the impact for agriculture and food exporters.
- Following annual price increases in 2022-23 and 2023-24, programs are expected to return to full cost recovery in 2023-24.
CRIS will be reviewed annually and updated where a need is identified and approved by the government. Rachel Short
