Book Description

Excerpt from Methods of Wholesale Distribution of Fruits and Vegetables on Large Markets The development of transportation facilities and the extension of our agricultural area have widened the distance between producer and consumer. This is as true commercially as it is physically. This condition has brought with it many difficulties, and the serv10es of specialists have been required to accomplish the distribution of large crops over wide areas. Certain channels of trade have been created and there are numerous avenues through which the farmer may reach the consumer. Few of these avenues are direct. The movement of farm products from producer to consumer appears to both to proceed in most cases along circuitous and devious ways.
