Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This study evaluates the economic feasibility of processing as a market outlet for vegetables produced in the Southeast. A survey of the vegetable processing industry was conducted in 1961 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Executives of 58 canning plants and 12 freezing plants were contacted. The purpose of this report is to provide information and analyses of processors' procurement volumes, areas, and methods. The report, therefore, may assist processors and growers to understand better the nature of the procurement problem and needed adjustments in a constantly changing economic situation.
