. After the notice and hearing which are required by Article 6
(commencing with Section 58771) of this chapter, and before issuing
a marketing order or amendments to it for the written assent of
producers or handlers which contain provisions for correlating the
supply of the commodity which is affected with market demands for it
by means of restrictions upon the total quantity of such commodity,
or restrictions upon the total quantity of any grade, size, quality,
or condition of it, which restrictions have the effect of limiting
the total quantity of such commodity which may be marketed during any
marketing season, if the restricted portion of such commodity might
otherwise be marketed by producers in compliance with other laws of
this state or of the United States or in compliance with established
commercial practice during such marketing season, the director shall
make all of the following findings with respect to such marketing
order or amendments to it:

correlation of the supply of the commodity which is affected with

commodity which is adequate to maintain in the business of producing
such commodity such number of producers as is required to provide
such supply of the quantities and qualities of such commodity as is
necessary to fulfill the normal requirements of consumers of the
commodity.
(b) Such marketing order or amendments to it will tend to approach
such equality of purchasing power at as rapid a rate as is feasible
in view of the market demand for such commodity.
(c) Such marketing order or amendments to it are in conformity
with the provisions of this chapter and within the applicable
limitations and restrictions which are set forth in this chapter and
will tend to effectuate the declared purposes and policies of this
chapter.

interests of consumers of such commodity, by exercising the powers of
