Schedule 1: Agriculture sectors relevant to producer organisation provisions
- Schedule 1 lists the agricultural sectors relevant to producer organisation provisions.
- Further detail on what is covered by each of these sectors will be expounded in subsequent regulations; however, the intention is to apply these terms in line with their clearly understood meaning in common trade usage.
- For example, in the ‘beef sector’, a producer would be understood as including an individual/business raising live animals intended for slaughter, and a processor would be understood as an individual/business involved in secondary activity (slaughtering, processing, butchering etc.). Producers of composite goods (such as meat pies or beef-based ready meals) would not be considered as active in the beef sector. Instead they would be understood as part of the ‘food manufacturing sector’ (not covered by these producer organisation provisions).
