Abstract

Excerpts from the report: For many years wooden field boxes were used exclusively by the Florida citrus industry to handle citrus fruit from the picker to the packing line. The field-box system has been essentially uniform since 1875. However, in recent years changes have taken place and other systems have been adopted either partially or entirely. The purpose of this study is to provide costs, labor and equipment requirements, and various engineering-economic data for use in planning improved systems for handling citrus from picking to packing line. Four systems are described and compared. Comparative costs and supplemental information are provided in this report for the field-box, the full-bulk, the pallet-box, and the modified-bulk systems currently in use.
