| Overview of SMDC
The Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission
(SMDC) is a producer-funded levy organization that operates under
the Agrifood Act to administer
a mandatory, but refundable check-off of 0.5 percent of gross
sales on all mustard produced in Saskatchewan. SMDC was created
in 2004, originating from the Saskatchewan Mustard Growers Association.
The elected producer Board of Directors is responsible
for administering the funds and allocating dollars towards research,
market development, administration and extension related activities.
Vision
Investing in the future for mustard grower profitability.
Mission
Growing the mustard industry for the benefit of producers through
research, communications and market development programs.
Funding
SMDC is funded by a levy on the sale of Saskatchewan produced
mustard. Registered buyers, at the first point of sale, collect
the check-off and remit those funds to SMDC. The amount collected
equals 0.5 per cent of the gross sales, which will amount to approximately
$350,000.00 per year.
