Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: This study of the New Jersey wholesale food industry covers the northeastern counties of Passaic, Bergen, Morris, Essex, Hudson, Union, Somerset, and Middlesex. Eleven types of food firms are included in the study: fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and related products, groceries, manufactured dairy products, poultry and eggs, frozen foods, fish and shellfish, bakery products, beverages, candy and confectionery, and a general category--other foods. In appropriate portions of the report, chain stores are examined separately from independent grocery firms. The objectives of this study were to: (1) describe present facilities used for food wholesaling and processing; (2) analyze the present pattern of food movement into, through, and out of the study area; (3) examine certain aspects of the economic impact of the food industry on northeastern New Jersey; (4) identify facilities needing replacement; (5) develop recommendations for the types and kinds of new facilities needed as part of a program to modernize the New Jersey food industry; (6) estimate costs associated with the new facilities; and (7) outline benefits from modernizing appropriate portions of the food industry through construction of a new food distribution center for northeastern New Jersey.
