. (a) The commission shall, not later than October 1 of each
year, establish the assessment for the marketing year beginning
October 1 and ending September 30.
(b) The combined assessment of the commission and any other state
or federally authorized kiwifruit production research and market
program shall not exceed 5 percent of the average f.o.b. (free on
board) gross dollar value of the kiwifruit marketed by or on behalf
of producers during the previous three marketing years, or
twenty-five cents ($0.25) per seven-pound tray of kiwifruit or the
equivalent thereto, whichever is less. The assessment may be computed
and assessed on a per tray basis if the commission determines that
an assessment on that basis would be reasonably equivalent to the
assessment established by the commission pursuant to subdivision (a).
(c) Expenditures for administrative purposes, as defined by the
commission, within the maximum assessment shall not exceed 1 1/2
percent of the gross dollar value of kiwifruit marketed by or on
behalf of producers during that marketing year.
