Waste Reduction
Found In Direct
Produce Routine

NEW YORK, May - Enough
fresh fruits and vegetables to
supply the normal require
ments of the entire population
Of the six New England states
for three years is destined to be
lost through spoilage and waste
this year.
This statement was made
here today by a leading dis
tributor of New England farm
products who called for closer
cooperation between producers
and distributors to help elm
mate waste by speeding up the
flow of farm products from
grower to consumer.
"At a time when every pound
of food counts, it is urgent that
growers and distributors team
up to reduce the estimated %
per cent loss that occurs in the
nations So billion pound fresh
fruit and vegetable CROP" said
Harvey Baum, head of A g. P
Food Stores rroduce- buying
operations. 'Thao a substantial
part Of this waste can be elm
mated is indicated by my own
company's 10 per cent reduc-
ton in the fresh fruit and veg
etable spoilage rate since 1922,
This will amount to conserva-
ton of nearly 400 million
pounds of produce this year. or
enough to supply the fresh
fruit and vegetable require
ments of Maine for one year"
Baum cited more direct rout-
ing of merchandise as one Of
the most effective methods of
combating waste. Three fourths
of the fresh fruits and vege-
tables handled by the company
bypass congested central mar
kets an dare moved to the con-
sumner through decentralized
receiving points such as ware
houses and team tracks, he
said.
Other methods recommended
by Baum to reduce waste are
more efficient handling Of pro

lers.
