The Tasmanian Crop Pollination Association
The Tasmanian Crop Pollination Association has developed this voluntary Code of Practice (COP) that can be used as a guide for contracting pollination services. Successful pollination of fruit and seed crops is vital to ensure economic yields. A good understanding of the obligations of both the supplier and user of pollination services is essential to avoid disappointing results and conflict.
This document includes background information and a sample supply agreement that can be used to help avoid misunderstandings.
