Resumen

A producer shall pay a levy on an agricultural product produced by him at such rate as the Minister may, subject to the provisions of subsection (4), prescribe. "Agricultural product" means: (a) dry maize on or off the cob, milk and butterfat; and (b) any other animal or any thing whatsoever which is produced in the course of agriculture declared, pursuant to subsection (2) of section 5, by the Minister, by statutory order, to be an agricultural product for the purposes of this Act. The Minister may at any time, by statutory order withdraw a levy or suspend the collection of a levy. The funds of each levy account established in terms of section seven shall be applied to objects calculated to promote generally the interests of producers of the particular agricultural product or class of agricultural product in respect of which the account relates. The Minister shall from time to time pay to the appropriate producers' association the amount standing to the credit of each levy account. Accounts of producers' associations shall be audited in accordance with section 10. (15 sections)
