Maryland officials laud the new Maryland Wholesale Produce Market complex at Jessup as a big boost for farmers and Maryland wholesale merchants. Director Richard P.

The report cites 1975 Maryland fresh market output of 100 million pounds from 9,820 acres, with growth potential as firms consolidate in one location.
