EC 23: Determining national standard costs

You could also call this:

“How the Commissioner sets standard costs for raising farm animals”

The Commissioner decides how much it costs to raise different types of farm animals listed in schedule 18. When deciding these costs, the Commissioner thinks about how much it costs to breed, raise, and grow the animals.

These costs are called national standard costs. They apply to the year the Commissioner decides on them, even if the year has already started or finished.

The Commissioner’s decision about these costs is a type of law. You can find out more about how this law is published by looking at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
