WHOLESALERS
The Commission’s Consolidated General Orders define a “Wholesaler” as follows:
"Wholesaler" means a Person, other than an Agency, who sells or offers for sale the Regulated Product to a Retailer, Caterer, Processor, or other Wholesaler or otherwise than directly to a Consumer, but does not include a Person who has no facilities to store or transport the Regulated Product.
PROCUREMENT RESTRICTION
PART IX GENERAL ORDERS PAR.2
“A Wholesaler shall only buy, accept or receive a Regulated Product from an Agency or Producer-Shipper”
LIABILITY FOR MARKETING COSTS AND LOSSES
Pursuant to Section 4 of the British Columbia Vegetable Scheme, the Commission is vested with the powers described in Section 11 of the Natural Products Marketing (BC) Act (the "NPMA"). Pursuant to paragraph 11(1)(o)(iii) of the NPMA, the Commission is empowered to "set and collect…charges from designated persons engaged in the marketing of the whole or part of a regulated product..., and to use those… charges received by the… commission... to pay costs and losses incurred in marketing a regulated product". The complete Natural Products Marketing (BC) Act can be found at http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/00_96330_01#section11.
If a Wholesaler or Commission Salesperson procures BC-grown regulated vegetables contrary to the procurement restriction described above, the Commission may impose a charge against the offending Wholesaler or Commission Salesperson to recover marketing costs and losses arising from any market disruption. Marketing information and a list of all regulated vegetables can be found at http://www.bcveg.com/regulated-vegetables.html.
Additionally, there may also be other costs or losses incurred if regulated product is not compliant with the required or industry-standard food safety protocols. The Commission may also impose a charge against the offending Wholesaler or Commission Salesperson to recover marketing costs and losses arising from the production or marketing of any such non-compliant regulated product.
INSPECTIONS OF WAREHOUSE PREMISES
As part of your annual licensing, the BC Vegetable Marketing Commission endeavours to conduct annual visits to all registered Wholesale facilities to ensure regulated product is procured through the permitted channels, and that proper food safety protocols are adhered to, which includes (but is not limited to) periodic inspections of your premises and access to shipment records. These visits are necessary to help to maintain the highest standards of orderly marketing and food safety of BC-grown regulated Product in the province of British Columbia.
