The DRC Transportation Standards outline reasonable expectations of all parties when hauling fresh produce. Like the Trading Standards, they act as default rules when parties cannot agree on the terms of the sale. They guide members about claims, transit times and temperatures, multiple pick-ups, partial and pooled loads, and payment terms.
DRC provides harmonized standards, procedures and services to our members to help them avoid commercial disputes.
In dispute situations with our clients, the services provided by DRC have fulfilled Meridian Fruits SPR de RL Expectations and the results have left us with great satisfaction. For the above reasons, we put our trust in DRC for further assistance.
As a member of DRC since our inception we have found the resources and protection DRC provides us as both a broker and carrier to be invaluable! You shouldn’t be in the produce business without a membership, regardless of your role!
I’ve been following DRC’s work since 2014, and it’s been amazing to see all the developments and the impact the DRC continues to make in promoting fair and efficient dispute resolution practices. When I contributed my comments and suggestions to the Zero Draft of the UNIDROIT Legal Guide on Contract Farming, I had the DRC in mind as a model of success. It’s wonderful to see the continued growth and influence of such a valuable organization! Looking forward to following DRC’s future work.
