The Farmers Association Act Article 33

The General Assembly of Members (Representatives) shall have regular meetings and extraordinary meetings, both convened by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors.The regular meetings shall be convened once annually by Farmers’ Associations at all levels. The extraordinary meetings shall be convened at the request of at least one-third of members (representatives), or when deemed necessary by the Board of Directors.If an extraordinary meeting is requested as referred to in the preceding paragraph and the Chairperson fails to convene it within ten days, the originators of the request may apply to the competent authority for approval to convene a meeting by order.When convening a General Assembly of a primary-level Farmers’ Association presents genuine difficulties due to the large size of membership, representatives may be elected by farming task forces to convene a General Assembly of Representatives, which shall exercise the powers of the General Assembly.Prior to its merger into the National Farmers’ Association, all meetings of the Provincial Farmers’ Association shall be convened in accordance with the provisions of Paragraphs 1 to 3.
