What UK Agricultural Marketing Act 1958 (c.47): Marketing Schemes and Producer Boards requires
The Agricultural Marketing Act 1958 (c. 47) consolidates the law providing for the organised marketing of agricultural products through producer-controlled marketing schemes and boards, administered by the agriculture Ministers. Section 1 provides for the submission of schemes for regulating the marketing of an agricultural product by persons engaged in producing it, and section 2 provides for the approval of schemes following a poll of registered producers. Section 3 provides for the constitution of boards to administer schemes and the appointment of executive committees, the board being the body that operates the scheme on behalf of producers. Section 6 provides for the regulation of sales of regulated products, under which a scheme may require that the product be sold only through or with the consent of the board. Section 9 sets out the disciplinary provisions of schemes, allowing the board to impose penalties on registered producers who contravene the scheme, and section 10 provides that losses sustained by boards are recoverable in the same way as penalties. Section 14 confers on boards the power to make loans and grants and to enter into guarantees. Section 44 provides for the regulation of sales of home-produced agricultural products, and section 48 addresses offences committed by bodies corporate. The Act is the foundational producer marketing scheme and board regime.
