The U.S. Department of Agriculture has cited Moza LLC in Moscow, PA, for failing to pay $333,328 to eight sellers for produce that was purchased, received and accepted in interstate and foreign commerce from July 2016 to June 2017.  This is in violation of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act. 

As a result of these actions, Moza cannot operate in the produce industry until Nov. 24, 2020, and then only after they apply for and are issued a new PACA license by USDA.

The company’s principal, David M. Martin, may not be employed by or affiliated with any PACA licensee until Nov. 24, 2019, and then only with the posting of a USDA approved surety bond.

In the past three years, USDA resolved approximately 3,350 PACA claims involving more than $63 million. Its experts also assisted more than 8,000 callers with issues valued at approximately $156 million.
