§ 911.46 - Marketing policy.

Each fiscal year prior to making any recommendation pursuant to § 911.47 or § 911.53, the committee shall submit to the Secretary a report setting forth its marketing policy for such fiscal year. Such marketing policy report shall contain information relative to (a) the estimated total production of limes within the production area; (b) the expected general quality and size of limes in the production area and in other areas, including foreign competing areas; (c) the expected demand conditions for limes in different market outlets; (d) the expected shipments of limes produced in the production area and in other areas including foreign competing areas, together with a schedule of estimated weekly shipments of limes during such fiscal year; (e) supplies of competing commodities; (f) trend and level of consumer income; (g) other factors having a bearing on the marketing of limes; and (h) the type of regulations expected to be recommended during the season. In the event it becomes advisable, because of changes in the supply and demand situation for limes, to modify substantially such marketing policy, the committee shall submit to the Secretary a revised marketing policy report setting forth the information prescribed in this section. The committee shall publicly announce the contents of each marketing policy report and copies thereof shall be maintained in the offices of the committee where they shall be available for examination by growers and handlers.
