Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This study was undertaken in the fall of 1972 at the request of the Dallas Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association and industry representatives in cooperation with the Dallas Department of Planning and Urban Development and various economic and industrial development agencies in the city. Part of the present central produce district in Dallas is included in plans for urban improvement. If these plans are implemented, they will affect most fresh fruit and vegetable wholesalers now operating in the produce district. Although most fresh fruit and vegetable wholesalers are concentrated in a market area near downtown Dallas, all fresh fruit and vegetable wholesalers operating in the city were included in the study. Firms were not included if they were predominantly a retail operation. This study of facilities for handling fresh fruits and vegetables at wholesale in Dallas is part of a research program to improve the operations of food distributors and thus increase the efficiency of distributing fresh and processed fruits and vegetables to all consumers in the Dallas area. Data in this report were obtained from wholesale fresh fruit and vegetable firms through personal interviews
