 Feasibility of Using a 50- by 30-Centimeter Cell Box for Exporting Mcintosh and Golden Delicious ApplesEarl D. Mallison and Donald R. Stokes No 313611, Marketing Research Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Marketing Service, Transportation and Marketing Program Abstract: Excerpts from the report: A committee representing the member countries of The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is developing standard containers for fruits and vegetables moving in international trade. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the feasibility of packing and transporting to United Kingdom ports United States Mcintosh and Golden Delicious apples, sized in accordance with present commercial practices, in 50- by 30-cm. cell-type boxes. Apples were selected for this study since they have been exported in large volume for many years to European markets. A box having outside dimensions of 50 cm. (19.7 in.) long by 30 cm. (11.8 in.) wide was selected since this one, of all the OECD boxes, comes closest in size to the boxes commonly used in the United States for apples.
