Resumen
Descripción
Existing packinghouses are located near older groves. As more
citrus is grown farther south in Florida, transportation cost increases
will occur unless new packinghouses open near the new production
areas. This paper is concerned with the impact of the southern movement
of citrus production in the Indian River marketing district on the size,
number, and location of citrus packinghouses.
The southern movement of citrus production does suggest the need
for construction of a new packinghouse in Jupiter, Florida. Existing
packinghouses could be reconfigured into larger packinghouses. In
general, however, the Indian River packinghouse capacity is located
where the production is located.
