Excerpt from The Household Market for Selected Canned Fruits and Vegetables (Classic Reprint)
This study is part of a broad program designed to expand the market for farm products. Specific Objectives were to report for the first time, chiefly for the benefit of growers and canners, seasonal changes in household consumer purchases of selected canned fruits and vegetables on a national and regional basis, and to establish the relationship of certain family characteristics to annual purchases. The report presents, by regions, the household market profile for canned peaches, pears, fruit cocktail, sweet corn, snap beans, and green peas based on household purchase data from July 1958 to June 1959.
