Excerpt from Evaluating Two Systems of Harvesting and Handling Fresh Tomatoes In the United States the tomato is a leading fresh market vegetable with an average (1976) annual production of over 2 billion pounds valued at $425 million. Many tomato varieties are available for year round fresh market sale. These include cherry, round, and pear-shaped tomatoes in various shades of red or yellow. Those most commonly found in retail stores are pink or light red, round, and average about 3 inches in diameter. Most commercially grown fresh tomatoes are harvested as either mature green or breakers. A mature green tomato has a completely green skin but has reached the stage where the skin will turn red either on or off the vine.

Excerpt from Comparative Methods of Handling Produce From Warehouse Slots to Holding Areas of Retail Stores The study of alternative systems of handling produce from warehouse selection-of storage in the retail store showed that the pallet system was the least expensive, costing per cases delivered, compared with for mobile cart shipment and when produce is hand stacked in the trailer. The study also showed that the availability of back haul revenue (using the fleet equipment to transport freight on the return trip to the warehouse) further reduced the cost of pallet and hand-stack shipment in the cooperating firms. The total cost per cases, with backhaul, was for pallets and for hand-stack delivery. There was no backhaul for cart shipments because the rigid carts (full and empty) used all available space in the trailer. Collapsible carts will free 75 percent of trailer space f or backhaul freight, but the potential revenue should be adjusted for the added cost of the cart and the labor need-cd to erect and to collapse the cart. Warehouse labor for selection was per cases less for the pallet system than for the cart system. This was due to the greater capacity of the pal-let and the less time required to select the case and to position it on the pallet.

Excerpt from Today's Fresh Tomato Marketing System and a Perspective of a System for the Future Prior to harvest the quality of the fruit is probably as good as can be produced. The volume of fruit picked allows no time for quality decisions by the picker. Fruits with defects such as catface, deformity, or cracks, or fruits with blossom-end rot, gray wall, or decay can comprise 20 percent or more of the harvest. Fingernail cuts, stem punctures, scarring, and scuffing originate at harvest. The dumping of harvested fruit into bulk bins, the weight of fruit on fruit, and movement of the tomatoes during transport from field to packing house can cause both external and internal damage to the fruit. The damage shows up as scuffing or sand scarring of the skin, cracking, or internal bruising of the fruit. External blemishes not only detract from the appearance but increase the chance of decay. Internal bruises are not always visible externally, but can cause fermentation and off flavors in the fruit. Internal damage can also manifest itself later in the ripened fruit as soft, water-soaked, disoriented, and sometimes discolored tissue.

Excerpt from Handling and Shipping Southern-Grown Tomato Plants Several different types of vegetables are grown to sell as seedlings, but tomato plants are produced in the greatest quantity because of the great demand for early plants by growers of cannery stock in the North. Beginning as a mail-order business about 30 years ago, the growing of seedling tomato plants has increased to such an extent that now total shipments by both truck and rail are the equivalent of more than carloads a year. Tomato plants are grown commercially in Georgia, Florida, Missis sippi, and Texas. In several counties in the southern part of Georgia plant growing has become a major industry, the extent of which is shown in table 1. If it is assumed that plants were shipped per car and that the less-than-carload lots averaged half this number, about half a billion plants were shipped from Georgia by railroad in 1945, the year when the most plants were shipped.
