Abstract

Excerpt from the report Preface: This is one of a series of studies by the Agricultural Research Service to find more efficient, less costly ways of handling and transporting shipments of U.S. agricultural products to over- seas markets. The study was made to assess the potential of containerized handling and transport in shipping frozen poultry products directly from U.S. processing plants to foreign receivers in overseas markets. Its purpose was to identify the problems and opportunities inherent in adapting the containerization technique to the transport of overseas shipments and to determine how it could best be improved and exploited to meet the needs of the producers and the marketing system.
