Abstract: Excerpt from the report Introduction: Florida potatoes are the first early crop potatoes marketed. They are marketed during the winter when late crop potatoes are moving out of storage. The purpose of this report is to provide information to producers, packinghouse operators, and others on the cost of marketing Florida potatoes by methods currently used and to relate these costs to the services performed. In addition this report describes the marketing margin in 1956 for Florida potatoes from packinghouse door to point of first transfer of ownership to firms in a midwestern market (Chicago) and in an eastern market (New York City).
