Exchange Sells 700 Carloads Citrus in New 10 Pound Bags
The Exchange sold 700 carloads of citrus in 10 pound bags, about a quarter million boxes, via 31 associations. Prices exceeded standard box base prices despite higher packing costs, showing strong consumer appeal and efficiency in weight based sales. Distribution was limited by packing capacity and trained staff, but the bagged format attracted large buyers and opened new markets for Florida oranges and grapefruit.
