This book explores the different factors influencing the efficiency of lemon packing-houses during the second half of the 1940s, a period of significant industry expansion and economic change for the citrus industry. The author analyzes the industry's division of consumer's dollars spent on lemons, showing that the greatest potential for reducing marketing costs was in lowering picking, hauling, and packing costs. He then presents a detailed study of eight lemon packing-houses, examining their physical and financial data, and using input-output ratios and unit cost analysis to identify key factors influencing efficiency. The book's insights on the relationship between volume, quality of fruit received, operating policies, location, and cost of capital provide valuable lessons for understanding the challenges and opportunities facing the lemon industry during this transformative period.
