What the heck is a "Fruit & Vegetable Dispute Resolution Corporation"?

Found this in the course of job-hunting tonight.

Probably does coups in foreign countries like United Fruit?

Good grief - it's a real thing:

Here is from the first FAQ
Who should be a DRC member and why?
Anyone who grows, buys, sells, brokers or provides transportation services for produce should be a DRC member to reduce financial risk and improve profitability. Membership is open to all firms who conduct business in a country that is a signatory to an internationally recognized arbitration convention, such as the New York Convention1. The DRC’s jurisdiction extends to disputes between members who are party to transactions entered into commerce in North America.

The consummate middleman, then?

My brain insists that the Democratic Republic of Congo is somehow involved.

... *if* they are signatory to NYC1, wait, no, only NA ... dang

[dewline]

Would seem so.

Sorry, for some reason my immediate thought on reading this was a certain Monty Python and friends...
