Over 75% of surveyed Australian grain growers want to cut the GRDC levy for biosecurity, but low response rates cast doubt on the results.
A non-binding survey by Grain Producers Australia shows over 75% of participating grain growers support reducing the GRDC levy and redirecting funds to biosecurity, citing unchanged rates since 2008 and high GRDC reserves.
However, state groups like Grain Producers SA and NSW Farmers challenge the survey’s validity due to low response rates—under 1% of eligible growers—and concerns over methodology and representation, with some reporting higher support for maintaining current levies.
The results have been shared with the federal agriculture minister, sparking debate over future levy decisions and potential regular voting.
