• Six contractors had consent to service trading sites withdrawn, prohibiting them from working at any trading sites in the future."

“Last year’s verification process identified 257 unique LHPs, 130 of which were identified as meeting our Requirements. This year we engaged 35 suppliers whose grower responses had been incomplete, to verify the status of the remaining 127 LHPs. This has resulted in an increase in the number of LHPs to 178 due to information gaps being addressed. Of these, 141 (79%) were identified as meeting our Requirements, 15 were identified as having had their licence cancelled or refused, and 23 LHPs were unable to be verified.”
