Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: This study of the wholesale market facilities in San Francisco was made with the cooperation of the California Department of Agriculture at the invitation of the Mayor of San Francisco. It was prompted principally by the Agricultural Committee of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. The study covers the wholesale handling of fruits, vegetables, poultry, eggs, dairy products, meat, meat products, dry groceries, and frozen food in San Francisco—products with a total annual volume of about 47,500 carlot equivalents and a value of approximately $500 million. San Francisco is a major center for the wholesale distribution of many food items in the northern half of California, furnishing a large part of the supply of food to the 3.5 million persons who live in the San Francisco Bay area. The congestion and inefficiencies of the present wholesale food distribution facilities have been known for many years and have prompted many efforts to relocate them. The need for modernization was emphasized during this study when about two-thirds of the 173 wholesale food dealers stated that San Francisco wholesale food distribution facilities were entirely unsatisfactory and they would be interested in moving to new ones.
