Resumen

These Regulations - (a) regulate the participation in the production, buying or processing of any grain, oilseeds and products by producers, buyers or processors; and (b) promote orderly marketing and fair trade practices in the grain and oilseeds industry; and (c) promote production of grain and oilseeds, including contract farming; and (cl) provide a mechanism for enforcement of contractual obligations to protect the investment of farmers, contractors and suppliers. They stipulate that all functions which the Agricultural Marketing Authority Board may exercise under the Agricultural Marketing Authority Act in relation to any agricultural commodity shall, in terms of these Regulations, be exercised by the Grain and Oilseeds Technical Committee, established under these Regulations. In order to carry out legally their business, each buyer, broker, contractor, processor, trader, or grain and oilseed industry stake holder association to which these Regulations apply shall be registered. A grower and a contractor may by mutual agreement enter into a volume based contract which shall be binding. The Committee shall, before the beginning of the production season, determine the minimum input package to be advanced by contractors to growers and cut off dates for input distribution on recommendation by Department of Agricultural Technical and Extension Services. A contractor shall complement the Government in the delivery of technical and extension services to contracted growers. All grains and grain products shall be classified in a grade specified in the Third Schedule in accordance with the standards of classification prescribed for that grade.
