Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: The primary defects in the San Juan market facilities for handling food and related products are: (1) The lack of sufficient warehouse facilities at shipside, (2) the splitting of market operations among several market areas, (3) excessive costs of cartage, deterioration, and spoilage, (4) the absence of a suitable livestock market with the necessary slaughtering and processing facilities for the proper handling of animals, particularly of heavier weights, (5) the lack of grain storage, feed mixing, and milling facilities for the efficient handling of imported grain and utilization of the various commodities produced on the Island that could be used in mixed feeds, and (6) the need for improved vegetable-oil-extracting facilities. To correct these defects this report proposes the construction of three types of facilities, which will provide a satisfactory outlet for an increased production of food products on the Island and for the efficient handling, processing, and distribution of these and imported products to the people in the San Juan metropolitan area, and to a lesser degree throughout the Island.
