The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that Adam Guzman Jr., doing business as Houston, Tx-based AG Tomato Co., satisfied a reparation order issued under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA).
The company may continue operating in the produce industry once it applies for and is issued a PACA license.
Sole proprietor of the business, Adam G. Guzman Jr., may now be employed by or affiliated with a PACA licensee.
PACA provides an administrative forum to handle disputes involving produce transactions, which can result in a reparation order being issued requiring damages to be paid by those not meeting their contractual obligations in buying and selling fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables.
