The Pineapple Growers' Advancement Group says it's determined to spend the new pineapple levy in consultation with growers.
The levy of $2 for production fruit and $5 for fresh fruit will be introduced on July 1.
PGAG chairman Chris Fullerton says growers are keen to see more research and development, as well as promotional projects for the industry.
"So we have identified priorities where those growers think the best spend for their money should be directed," he says.
"We are really going to concentrate on spending the grower's money on where they want it spent most."
