Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Continuing research is being conducted by the Agricultural Marketing Service to develop and evaluate consumer packages and shipping containers for early potatoes. A recent study showed that California White Rose early potatoes prepackaged and shipped in either 10-pound paper bags or 10-pound polyethylene bags, arrived at north-central markets in good condition. This study evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of marketing early red potatoes packed at Alabama and Florida production points and shipped to terminal markets in 5- and 10-pound polyethylene film bags, 5- and 10-pound polyethylene mesh bags, and 10-pound paper (mesh window) bags. The conventional 50-pound paper and 50-pound burlap bags were used as control containers.
