Definitions Interperations of Terms. 1. INTRODUCTION ACM’s business model is to operate in the value added stable dairy markets as close to the end consumer as possible. ACM is not a pure commodity player. We believe that our high value, direct to market approach will bring added stability to pricing and improves xxxxxx confidence and certainty. ACM looks forward to working with all of its Suppliers on an ongoing basis to ensure that the highest quality milk is delivered to customers. This document, being ACM’s Specification Guide, together with the General Terms and Conditions forms ACM’s Agreement for the supply of organic milk (“Milk Supply Agreement”) and Suppliers are encouraged to thoroughly familiarise themselves with its contents. Suppliers must obtain Organic Producer Certification before they can commence the supply of organic milk to ACM. Organic Producer Certification must then be maintained by Suppliers throughout the Milk Supply Agreement as a condition for suppling organic milk. In order for milk supplied under this Milk Supply Agreement to be received as organic milk, ACM requires Suppliers to comply with the Organic Standards set by the National Association for Sustainable Agriculture Australia and the National Standard for Organic and Bio-Dynamic Produce (the export standard which is also sometimes referred to as the ‘National Standard’) used by the Australian government’s Department of Agriculture. If, at any time during this Milk Supply Agreement, Supplier does not have valid and ongoing Organic Producer Certification, milk supplied by them to ACM will be received on the basis that it is conventional milk. ACM welcomes Supplier’s questions and feedback so please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
