Abstract
This Act establishes the Grain Marketing Board as a body corporate. The Board shall establish and administer in accordance with this section a trading reserve fund for each controlled product or each class of controlled product in accordance with section 22. “Controlled product” means any agricultural product or any product derived therefrom declared by the Minister, in terms of section 29 to be a controlled product. Different agricultural products may be declared by the Minister to be controlled products in different areas. The Board shall trade in controlled products, provide storage, handling and processing facilities for controlled products and maintain stocks of controlled products (sect. 26). Section 32 provides for registration of producers, millers or other persons dealing in controlled products. No person shall sell or otherwise dispose of any controlled product within the prescribed area except to the Grain Marketing Board, but a person who is the producer of any controlled product may sell such controlled product otherwise than to the Board if it is bona fide sold by him for use as seed (sect. 33). A similar rule applies to acquisition of controlled products in a prescribed area (sect. 34). Section 35 specifies controlled products exempted from provisions of this Act.
