The Commission administers the Scheme by way of a sub-delegation of powers to licensed agencies. Designated agencies allow producers to organize into marketing groups. The designation of agencies is a critical component of industry regulation. It provides producers with the ability to organize themselves to maximize the opportunities and investment options not normally available to smaller producers or commodity groups. The purpose of an agency is to ensure that these marketing groups have the critical mass to compete against regional competitors. It is in the interest of the Commission and Orderly Marketing to ensure agencies have the tools and flexibility that is required for them to remain competitive.
