>>>WEBINAR INVITATION
USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service (AMS) presents “The PACA Complaint
Process – Promoting Better Business Practices in
Produce”
A FREE Interactive Webinar
Date:
Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2012
Time: 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Eastern Time
Subject: USDA’s PACA Complaint
Process
Background: The Perishable
Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) is a federal law
that facilitates fair trading practices in the
marketing of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables
in interstate and foreign commerce. John Koller of
AMS’s PACA Division introduces PACA, reviews how to
interpret inspection certificates, the proper
acceptance and rejection of produce, and multiple
avenues to resolve a business conflict. Subject
areas include filing an informal PACA complaint,
mediation, working through a formal complaint, and
the PACA Trust.
If you buy and sell bulk
fruits and vegetables, don’t miss this informative
webinar. The webinar is free, but you must register
to participate.
