Have the association of producer organizations recognized
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzAgricultural producer organizations are associations of farm owners. Producer organizations that pursue at least one of the following objectives can be recognized:
- bundle production and market it jointly
- jointly procure feed, seed or agricultural equipment, for example, at lower cost
- define common production and quality rules in order to reliably supply the market.
Producer organizations thus also improve the market position of agriculture. You can form producer organizations for many agricultural products, for example for grain, livestock, meat (beef, pork, poultry, fallow deer, domestic rabbits), milk and dairy products, eggs, wine or potatoes.
Producer organizations can join together to form associations of producer organizations. An association is possible for a specific product or a group of related products.
A producer organization shall be recognized upon application if it
1. the general recognition requirements of Section 4 of the Agricultural Organizations and Supply Chain Ordinance and
2. the special recognition requirements that apply to the applicant association of the producer organization under Union law, the Agricultural Organizations and Supply Chains Act and this Ordinance for certain producer organizations or certain product areas.
Separate recognition is required for each product area in which a producer organization association is active.
