Out-of-state disposal of red raspberries 



Few red raspberries are shipped out of New Hampshire because 

 there is seldom a surplus, and growers net more in local markets. 

 HoAN'ever, at times, disposal of some berries outside may prevent 

 glutting small local markets. We are also interested in the possibili- 

 ties of shipping, if production should increase beyond the needs of 

 local markets. See Table XII for price comparisons in different 

 markets.
