History
In 1989, the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Commission was formed from the legal merging of the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board with the Milk Commission of Ontario.
The Commission is directly accountable to the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs for its performance in fulfilling its mandate and its compliance with government policies and directives. The Minister, in turn, is accountable to Cabinet and the Legislature for the Commission's fulfillment of its mandate and for reporting on the Commission's affairs.
Commission members are private citizens appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council. They are supported by the staff of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
