Vegetables

The vegetable market is extensive although the vegetables are grown on much smaller acreage than field crops. This market includes crops grown and marketed for two main segments – the fresh vegetable market and the processed and frozen vegetable market. The fresh vegetable market generally has much higher quality requirements and thus higher returns.  Therefore, it is critical for the grower to optimize the quality and yield of vegetables.
