§ 59912 Major Marketing Program Amendments

• •A 'major amendment' changes how much of a product (like fruits or vegetables) can be sold.
• •It can control when, how much, or what kind of product can be sold.
• •The goal is to match the amount of product available with what people actually want to buy.

A group of orange farmers wants to sell fewer oranges in the winter because people don’t buy as many.

They can make a 'major amendment' to their selling rules to limit how many oranges are sold in winter. This way, they don’t end up with too many oranges that no one buys.
