THE SHIPPER'S PROBLEMS STANDING IN THE WAY OF ACCOMPLISHING THE MOST ECONOMICAL MARKETING SYSTEM

Many problems face the shipper of fresh produce in the complicated society that we have today. These problems are not as numerous today as they will be in the future. However, with proper understanding on the shipper's part, the carrier's part and the receiver, some of these problems can be minimized. It will take effort on the part of everyone who is interested in the channels of trade of fresh produce to put their shoulder to the wheel in order to achieve these goals in the future. We can look in the future for problems incurred by ecology groups, government groups, and consumer groups. These problems will take much thought and much planning on the part of all the members of this produce team to solve today and tomorrow.
