CHAPTER V 



THE MARKETING OF PRODUCE, A KEY TO 

 THE WHOLE POSITION 



THERE is no doubt that at the bottom of the 

 agricultural problem lies the question of 

 profitable or unprofitable selling. It is not unprofitable 



. . selling 



likely that men or women either, can put 

 much heart or interest into work which 

 brings no adequate return, and in many cases 

 even loss, for all the effort expended. 



But then comes the reflection, Why should 

 not good produce sell well, when there is 

 always a steady demand for certain articles 

 of food, and an increasing one for fresh fruit 

 and vegetables ? The last ten years has seen 

 a remarkable change in this direction, and 

 the amount of imported fruit increases each 

 year.
