Abstract

Greenhouse production of fresh winter season tomatoes in North Central and North-eastern USA faces higher costs than outdoor production in Florida or Mexico, including freight charges for delivery to northern markets. The higher the fuel price, the greater will be the relative disadvantage of the producer relying on environmental controls. Success must therefore depend on effective exploitation of quality differences rather than competing on a price per pound basis.
