mandatory inspection requirements under the Federal marketing order for California walnuts is effectuated beginning September 1, 2021. This moratorium also includes inspection requirements on walnuts imported into the United States under section 608e of the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended.
The six-month moratorium will also affect the California Walnut Boards CWB collection of assessments from domestic handlers under the marketing order. While the moratorium is in effect, the CWB will be unable to collect assessments to finance its operational activities. Instead, the CWB will be able to employ financial practices authorized by the marketing order, which may include utilizing borrowing authority, using its financial reserves, and accepting voluntary contributions.
The moratorium is based on discussions with industry about market disruptions associated with the COVID
19 pandemic, such as labor and transportation interruptions and ongoing tariff issues. The combination of these issues is adversely affecting market conditions across the California walnut industry.
Through this notification, USDA is informing stakeholders, including the Dried Fruit Association; the California Department of Food and Agriculture;
U.S. Customs and Border Protection;
and walnut producers, handlers, and importers that USDA is exercising its discretion to issue the six-month moratorium on the enforcement of mandatory inspection requirements.
The moratorium will remain in place for six months beginning September 1, 2021. If, during the moratorium, the CWB will submit a proposal for formal rulemaking to address inspection requirements in the marketing order.
USDA may extend the moratorium until resolution of the rulemaking process.
USDAs role of overseeing the CWB
and the Orders operations will continue uninterrupted during the moratorium.
Erin Morris, Associate Administrator, Agricultural Marketing Service.
