Agricultural Law
PACA Trust
Protection
My payment terms are
35 days; I have been told that these terms make me ineligible for PACA
trust protection. Is this true?
Yes. The times for prompt
accounting and prompt payment are stated in the USDA regulations. If
the parties to a transaction elect to use different times for payment,
it cannot exceed 30 days after receipt and acceptance of the produce
and still qualify for coverage under the trust.
