If you live close to a farming community, you are probably
familiar with a produce auction. Produce auctions allow farmers
to sell their goods directly to buyers on an auction block, much like
in any other auction. Farmers can wait in line to sell their
produce, and they are brought to the auction block in line order.
Most produce auctions charge a certain percentage in commission, but
this amount is typically less than five percent. The produce
auction is an excellent way for farmers to sell their produce right
after it is harvested.
Both large and small buyers can make purchases at a produce
auction. Most of the time, all buyers must register for the
auction, and they pay for their goods at the office. Most produce
auctions take only cash or checks, but this varies from auction to
auction. Buyers are typically responsible for transporting their
purchases, so if you are planning to buy truckload of watermelons, you
should make sure you bring the truck along with you.
Most produce auctions do not charge fees to the purchasers of
goods. They are merely required to immediately pay the amount of
the bid. Typical buyers include small grocery store operators and
other shop owners, especially in small towns. There are also
individual families that make purchases, and sometimes large grocery
store chains will send purchasers out to look for good deals at produce
auctions, as well.
The produce auction is typically run by the auction manager, and he is
responsible for conducting the auction’s proceedings. Often
times, sellers can put items other than fruits and vegetables on the
auction block, but these must be farm products and they must obtain
prior approval from the auction manager. Because of this, you
never know what you might find at your local produce auction.
Whether you are a buyer or a seller, you can benefit from participating
in a produce auction.
