Unit Packages Used for Fifth Of Produce Sold
Approximately a fifth of all fruits and vegetables delivered to retail stores are packaged in consumer units and the share is rising.

Packaging is advancing more for leafy and protected produce, while roots and onions still rely on hand packing and automatic bagging.
