68028
. "Distributor" means any person who engages in the operation
of selling, marketing, or distributing kiwifruit which he has
produced or purchased or acquired from a producer, or which he is
marketing on behalf of a producer, whether as owner, agent, employee,
broker, or otherwise. When the distributor is a corporation, all of
the directors and officers of the corporation in their capacity as
individuals shall be included, and any liability for failure to
collect or make payment of assessments of which a corporate
distributor may be subject pursuant to this chapter shall include
identical liability upon each individual director or officer of the
corporation. It does not, however, include a retailer, except a
retailer who purchases or acquires from, or handles on behalf of any
producer, kiwifruit which was not previously subject to assessment by
the commission.
