Unit 6 Text: Food transportation and food marketing
Grammar: Verb (+ object) + to …
Food transportation
Commercial
shipping companies transport most of the food from producers to
processors and from processors to market. Nearly all fresh foods are
perishable and must be shipped quickly. Many vegetable farmers haul
their produce to nearby markets soon after it is harvested. Over
longer distances, however, refrigerated trucks, railroad cars, and
ship help keep perishable produce fresh. Refrigerated vehicles also
haul dairy products and frozen foods. In some cases, airplanes
transport highly perishable foods, such as fish or expensive foods,
such as live lobsters.
Some
farmers sell eggs or fresh fruits and vegetables directly to
consumers at roadside stands or through home deliveries. Many farmers
take produce to a farmers’ market in a nearby city. There food
dealers and homemakers can purchase it.
Numerous grain, dairy, and other farmers sell their products directly to a food processor. Many other farmers belong to marketing cooperative. A marketing cooperative collects the products of member farmers. It then sells the products to processors. Farmers sell their livestock to meat packers at large centres called terminal markets or at smaller auction markets.
Most food processors and a number of farmers sell their products to a wholesaler. Wholesalers buy large quantities of a product and then sell smaller amounts to retailers. Food retailers include supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, delicatessens, butcher shops, restaurants, and other businesses that sell food to consumers.
Supermarkets and groceries sell a variety of foods. Other stores sell only one line of food, such as baked goods, fish, or meat. Consumers can buy prepared meals at restaurants and cafeterias. In many office and public buildings, vending machines dispense foods.
