The minister responsible for agriculture may, by notice in the Gazette, declare any product to be an agricultural product for the purposes of this Act (sect. 1).

The objectives mentioned in section 2(2) are: (a) the increasing of market access for all market participants; (b) the promotion of the efficiency of the marketing of agricultural products; (c) the optimisation of export earnings from agricultural products; (d) the enhancement of viability of the agricultural sector. The Council, established under section 4, is charged with advisory, information collecting and monitoring functions (sect. 9). The Act is completed by a Schedule listing enactments repealed.
