Nothing in this article shall be construed as exempting any association from the payment of license, income, property or other taxes, state and local; and the designation of any such association in this article as nonprofit shall not be construed as exempting it from state income taxation, notwithstanding any other provision of law. For the privilege of storing or marketing agricultural products, an association shall, however, pay only an annual license fee of ten dollars which shall be in lieu of all other corporation, franchise and income taxes, taxes on capital, taxes and charges upon reserves held by the association, and all state and local license taxes on that part of its business which is solely and exclusively the storing or marketing of agricultural products. Marketing of agricultural products shall include the functions involved in transferring title and in moving goods from producer to consumer, including buying, selling, processing, packing, storing, transporting, standardizing, financing, risk bearing and supplying market information.
