Synopsis

Program Aid, Issue 1096 by Floyd F. Hedlund and Michael D. Price is a government publication from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service. It explains the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) and how the Act affects day-to-day buying and selling of fruits and vegetables. The booklet covers the purpose of PACA, the concept of fairness in trading, and licensing requirements to operate within the law. It outlines recordkeeping obligations, especially for consignments, and the broker’s role as the “man in the middle” in contracts. It emphasizes the importance of writing contracts, clear terms, and accurate documentation to prevent disputes. The guide details PACA trade terms, methods for resolving disputes both informally and formally, and the penalties for violations. Additional sections address marketing for growers, measures of value, inspection procedures, and the PACA Counseling Service and Industry Advisory Committee. Overall, it is intended to help growers, shippers, brokers, dealers, and retailers conduct business ethically and legally in interstate commerce.
