Join us for a live and interactive webinar session on Thursday, June 26, 2014 2:00 pm EST, “An Introduction to the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA).”
PACA was enacted at the request of the fruit and vegetable industry to promote fair trade in the industry. PACA protects businesses dealing in fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables by establishing and enforcing a code of fair business practices and helping companies resolve business disputes.
Karla Whalen, Director of the PACA Division, will introduce PACA and provide practical tips on how PACA can help your company resolve everyday business challenges from the interpretation of USDA inspection certificates to protecting your business if your customer does not pay or files for bankruptcy. Following the formal presentation, the webinar will conclude with an interactive question and answer session.
