Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: Farm and food products move through various kinds of facilities on their way from producer to consumer. One kind of facility through which these products move is the wholesale food market. As a large number of persons and firms operate in a wholesale food market such markets present challenging and complex problems with respect to types of ownership and methods of financing. Wholesale food markets usually consist of stores for handling various kinds of food products, stalls in which farmers may display their produce, restaurants, offices, and other facilities for individual businesses. In addition, these markets have certain facilities for common use, such as railroad tracks, streets, and parking areas. Although large firms occupying entire buildings can own and operate their buildings, facilities for other operators must be provided by group ownership and financing. This report discusses in some detail the merits of different types of ownership, sources of loan capital, ways of selling securities, governmental regulations to be complied with, and methods of financing used by a number of food markets. This general information should aid interested people in any locality in developing a financial plan to fit their situation.
