Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

Governor's Office

Subject:

Pennsylvania-Produced Agricultural

Products Program

Number:

2010-03

By Direction of: Edward G. Rendell, Governor Date: September 14, 2010

WHEREAS, Pennsylvania is the most productive agricultural state in the Northeast,

with more than 63,000 farms and 7.7 million acres of crop and pasture

land; and

WHEREAS,

Pennsylvania farmers are a vital component of the commonwealth’s

economy, a leading economic enterprise in the commonwealth,

generating more than $6.1 billion annually in cash receipts, supporting a

$45 billion a year economic activity, and employing nearly one in seven

members of Pennsylvania’s workforce; and

WHEREAS, Pennsylvania-produced agricultural products provide a potential local

source for those commonwealth agencies that purchase agricultural

products; and

WHEREAS Pennsylvania-produced agricultural products are available at costs that

are competitive with agricultural products that are produced outside the

commonwealth; and

WHEREAS, the Department of Agriculture has developed the Pennsylvania

Preferred® program to increase sales of Pennsylvania-produced

agricultural products; and

WHEREAS, the purchase and use of Pennsylvania-produced agricultural products by

commonwealth agencies will benefit both Pennsylvania agriculture

industry and the agencies that purchase these products.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Edward G. Rendell, Governor of the

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the

Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and other laws, do hereby order:

1. Commonwealth Agency Purchases. All agencies under my jurisdiction

that purchase agricultural products shall, to the extent permitted by the

laws and agreements of the United States and the Commonwealth of

Pennsylvania and so as not to trigger the reciprocal preference laws of

other states, purchase Pennsylvania-produced agricultural products when

available at competitive prices.

Executive Order 2010-03

Page 1 of 3

2. Identification of Sources. Agencies shall, prior to purchasing

agricultural products, research potential sources of these agricultural

products to determine whether there are potential vendors of

Pennsylvania-produced agricultural products. At a minimum, agencies

shall contact the Department of Agriculture or review Department of

Agriculture published lists of producers of Pennsylvania Preferred®

agricultural products or licensees of the Pennsylvania Preferred®

trademark to identify potential bidders and vendors. The Department of

Agriculture shall assist agencies in identifying other potential vendors of

Pennsylvania-produced agricultural products.

3. Soliciting Vendors. If there are vendors of Pennsylvania-produced

agricultural products that would be responsive to the particular needs of

the agency, the agency shall solicit a quote, price or proposal from those

vendors.

4. Report. All commonwealth agencies that purchase agricultural products

shall, on or before January 1 of each year, provide a report to the

Department of Agriculture describing the types, quantities, and costs of

each agricultural product purchased and each Pennsylvania-produced

agricultural product purchased. The report shall be completed on a form

provided by the Department of Agriculture.

5. Definitions. For purposes of this order, Pennsylvania-produced

agricultural products shall consist of any of the following:

a. Fresh, unprocessed agricultural products with respect to which the

Department of Agriculture has granted a license allowing the use of

the Pennsylvania Preferred® trademark for marketing purposes.

b. Processed agricultural products with respect to which the

Department of Agriculture has granted a license allowing the use of

the Pennsylvania Preferred® trademark for marketing purposes.

c. Fresh, unprocessed agricultural products with respect to which the

vendor provides written certification that:

(1) one hundred percent of the products are harvested in a raw

state (for plant products) or a live state (for animal products)

from within the commonwealth; and

(2) if inspected by the Department of Agriculture, the United States

Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration or

an independent certifying organization, the products have met

the quality standards of that inspecting body.

Executive Order 2010-03

d. Fresh, unprocessed agricultural products with respect to which the

vendor provides written certification that:

(1) the products have been grown within the commonwealth for at

least 75% of the products’ production cycle; and

(2) if inspected by the Department of Agriculture, the United States

Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration or

an independent certifying organization, the products have met

the quality standards of that inspecting body.

e. Processed agricultural products with respect to which the vendor

provides written certification that:

(1) one hundred percent of the final processing and packaging

occurred within the commonwealth;

(2) if the primary ingredient(s) are grown in Pennsylvania, at least

60% of the processor’s annual production is sourced using

products meeting the criteria for “Fresh, unprocessed products”

described in subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d), above;

(3) if the primary ingredients(s) are grown in Pennsylvania (these

ingredients are “grown in Pennsylvania” if they are listed as

being grown in this commonwealth at a commercial level in the

most recent annual report prepared by the Pennsylvania

Agricultural Statistics Service), but at a low level of production

which means the processor cannot buy enough to meet the

60% criteria at the time of application to the Pennsylvania

Preferred program, the processor buys the maximum amount of

Pennsylvania product available to it;

(4) if the primary ingredient(s) are not grown in Pennsylvania

(these ingredients are “not grown in Pennsylvania” if they are

not listed as being grown in this commonwealth at a

commercial level in the most recent annual report prepared by

the Pennsylvania Agricultural Statistics Service), the processor

performs at least 75% of the product’s processing operations

within Pennsylvania; and

(5) the processing is in compliance with all state and federal food

safety and sanitary requirements and has not incurred a major

violation of these requirements within the most recent calendar

year.

6. Resolving Conflicts with Other Jurisdictions. It is not the intention of

this order to violate or conflict with any international treaty or reciprocal

preference statute of another jurisdiction. This Order shall be interpreted

and applied to avoid any such violation or conflict.

7. Effective Date. This order shall take effect immediately.
