Difference in scale. Onions don't have Telstras and TPG's.<br>
<br>
They'd be paying the bulk of any industry fees under most measures.<br>
And without them in the group there probably isn't much point.<br>

virtually any small ISP. Their entire industry is smaller than
the small-ISP industry. They have a national association with a

there are ~380 onion growers<br>
They pay $4 per tonne to the org, (production cost of a tonne is
~$361)<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
gross value of production per annum $181M so they make 501385
tonnes of onions give or take<br>
So they are netting $2M to run their industry body.<br>
<br>
How much would you pay per user/some-other-measure for your
industry body?<br>
