Abstract: Excerpt from the report: The purpose of this study was to (1) explore a way of collecting data on the use of different shipping containers for marketing fresh fruits and vegetables, (2) obtain some information on the extent of proliferation of various size containers in use for fresh fruits and vegetables, (3) determine how well presently used containers fit certain size pallets, and (4) compare the average base dimensions of U.S. containers with those recommended by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as a guide toward developing standard size containers.
