Almonds Grown in California; Salable and Reserve Percentages for the 1999-2000 Crop Year

Краткое содержание

This rule establishes salable and reserve percentages for California almonds received by handlers during the 1999-2000 crop year. The almond marketing order (order) regulates the handling of almonds grown in California and is administered locally by the Almond Board of California (Board). The percentages are 77.64 percent salable and 22.36 percent reserve. Salable almonds may be sold by handlers to any market at any time. Reserve almonds must be withheld by handlers or disposed of in authorized outlets. The 1999-2000 crop is estimated to be the largest crop on record. Volume regulation is intended to promote orderly marketing conditions and avoid unreasonable fluctuations in supplies and prices.
