What action must a distributor who conveys organic products take?

A distributor who conveys organic products is required to register. This requirement is part of the regulatory framework established to ensure that organic products meet specific standards and are traceable throughout the supply chain. By registering, the distributor acknowledges compliance with organic farming regulations and helps maintain the integrity of organic labeling.

Registration typically involves providing information about the distribution process, sourcing of products, and any practices that align with organic standards. This allows for transparency and accountability in the handling of organic goods, ensuring that they are not mixed with non-organic products and that they adhere to set guidelines.

Maintaining good relationships with producers, keeping records solely for oneself, or conducting quality tests, while important in their own contexts, do not fulfill the necessary regulatory requirement that ensures all parties in the distribution chain are certified and compliant with organic standards. Thus, registration is a crucial step for any distributor involved in the conveyance of organic products.
