No 314176, Farmer Cooperative Research Report (FCRR) from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This report examines nonprice specifications of loads of interior Florida fresh citrus fruit shipped to retail and wholesale buyers during the 1958-59, 1961-62, and 1966-67 seasons. Load specifications are compared as indicators of buyers’ requirements. Important shipment characteristics, buyer-shipper relationships, and changing shipping patterns are examined in detail. Farmer Cooperative Service (FCS) made this study to provide Florida citrus growers, their cooperatives, and others in the industry an opportunity to examine these characteristics and to consider their implications for fresh fruit sales and shipping operations. Study findings are based on data provided by the Citrus and Vegetable Inspection Division of the Florida Department of Agriculture.
