Résumé

The Agricultural Marketing Authority is established under section 3 as a body corporate. The functions of the Authority are: (a) to assist the producers of agro-produce on marketing of their products; (b) to identify markets for and to facilitate and develop marketing of agro-produce; (c) to purchase, sell and export and import agro-produce or import agro-input; etc. (sect. 4). The Board may by Order in the Gazette and in consultation with the Minister, declare an area or premises to be a collection centre for purposes of this Act (sect. 8). The manager of a collection centre may:(a) inspect any agro-produce that is brought to the collection centre; (b) refuse to purchase or sell or refuse to accept for export, any agro-produce if the produce is unfit for human consumption, damaged or unmarketable; (c) dispose for other use any agro-produce that is not purchased or sold or unfit for human consumption; (d) collect information from a buyer, seller or supplier in relation to an agro-produce or agro-input; and (e) take or obtain a sample of any agro-produce for testing, educational or experimental purposes. The Minister may, after consulting the Board, give specific or general policy directions to the Board.
