Excerpt from The Southeastern Vegetable Processing Industry: Raw Product Procurement, 1960 Traditionally, production of vegetables in the Southeastern States has been primarily for fresh market outlets. 1/ Though processing has been a minor outlet for most vegetables, it has served an important role in absorbing the surplus pro= duction of those vegetables which could not be disposed of profitably through existing fresh market outlets. In addition processing has provided a market for some veg etables grown exclusively for this purpose. In these roles, the processing industry has added appreciably to market stability, an important factor in vegetable production. Vegetable processing in the Southeastern States is not new, but the total volume processed is small compared with other areas, such as the Pacific Coast or Midwest. The competitive position of many of the plants currently operating in the Southeast is constantly being challenged by plants in other areas more strategically located with respect to certain raw vegetable supplies Southeastern vegetable producers and processors are aware of the necessity of improving farm production techniques and processing technology to improve their competitive position.
