Description
Produce Packaging
Convenience and shelf life considerations will drive increases in produce packaging activity. Despite relatively slow growth in domestic produce output, advances for packaging will result from increases in the amount of produce sold in retail packaging, as well as greater use of higher value packaging types for fresh-cut produce that offer consumer convenience, ease-of-use features for both store personnel and customers, and improved performance characteristics designed to keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer. This new study discusses how these factors will impact sales of produce packaging products going forward.
