In United States agricultural policy,marketing agreements (andmarketing orders) are authorized by theAgricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 (50 Stat. 246), as amended). They may be designed to:

1. maintain the high quality of produce that is on the market;
2. standardize packages and containers;
3. regulate the flow of product to market;
4. establish reserve pools for storable commodities; and
5. authorize production research, marketing research and development, and advertising.

In contrast tomarketing orders, agreements are enforceable only against those handlers who enter into the agreement. Federal oversight is provided by theAgricultural Marketing Service.
