impersonal trade by reducing information asymmetry between counter-parties. Clause 20 of the Bill provides for the grading and weighing of products stored in a warehouse. Further, it stipulates that grading of agricultural commodities shall be undertaken by agricultural commodity graders certified by the Agriculture, Food and Fisheries Authority (AFFA). This means that once the commodities are brought to a warehouse, they are graded by certified graders and kept in the store. It does not matter whether it is yours.
