Book Description

Excerpt from Tomato Prices and Market Structure in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas In summary, f.o.b. Prices and prices paid growers were closely related over the major part of the season. Increased margins occurred only after the bulk of tomatoes had been sold. In all probability unit packing costs also increased when margins increased because of the combined influence of (a) an increase in the pro portion of lugs and (b) an increase in the proportion of pink and No. 2 grade tomatoes packed. In any event, the period when the two price levels were not closely related involved a small percentage of the crop.
