California Market For Manatee Canned Grapefruit

A Bradenton led Florida grapfruit canning plant at Manatee county produced about one twelfth of the state's total canned grapefruit. The Florida Grapefruit Canning Company employed 150 to 200 workers for roughly 22 weeks, with a weekly payroll around 2500 dollars and purchased crates from local farmers, boosting county growers’ income as northern markets fluctuated. The plant aimed to boost Bradenton and Manatee county visibility through its product.
