Thank you for your question.
Since its creation in 1997, the agency has had to freeze service charges. Therefore, there was no increase between 1997 and 2007. When the agency set up a cost-recovery structure, all sectors that receive services from the agency were targeted. Therefore, costs incurred are recovered not only from producers, but also from processors, exporters, importers and so forth.
Generally speaking, all sectors that benefit from the agency's services are subject to cost recovery. It is not our intention to increase costs.
