Synopsis

Excerpt from Produce Display Work Methods in Retail Stores

This is the seventh in a group of bulletins that the Department is issuing on handling produce in retail stores. The six earlier bulletins are listed on the last page of this publication This bulletin should be inserted in a ring binder immediately following the bulletin on Customer Service for Retail Produce Departments. Together the bulletins make up a Retail Produce Manual.

The bulletins present step-by-step instructions that will help retail store managers and workers save time and money in produce handling and will enable them to offer consumers produce of better quality with less loss from waste and spoilage. The publications in this group will also be helpful to specialists of the Cooperative Extension Service and State Departments of Agriculture in their marketing work with retail stores. These bulletins summarize the results of recent research by the Agricultural Marketing Service looking toward improvement in handling of produce in retail stores. The material in this report is based on Marketing Research Report No. 551 Improved Methods of Displaying and Handling Produce in Retail Food Stores.

The research is part of a broad program to improve efficiency in marketing farm products, reduce marketing costs, and bring fresher produce with less waste and spoilage to the consumer.

The retail store operator is the last link in the long chain of produce handlers and is the only person with whom the consumer has direct contact. Unless the retailer offers fresh produce in a satisfactory manner to the consumer, direct or indirect losses may reflect back through each handler to the growers.
