Saves Money
Products require preparation and washing before use.
Whole case products are heavy and bulkier therefore require more cooler space (Most items arrive in 50 lb cases.)
Iced products such as broccoli are very messy and leave adjacent areas wet and slippery.
Prone to frequent market fluctuations in price and quality. Quality usually decreases as price increases.
More time is needed for inventory and quality control. Ordering and finding product can be difficult at certain times of the year.
Preparation produces messy unnecessary waste which must be brought to dumpster and then hauled away.
Inconsistent quality within cases. Regardless of grade most cases of fruit and vegetables will contain a few defective pieces. (ie. in a sample of 50 topped carrots inspected and graded by the USDA 10% of the sample may be defective.)
Prices do not accommodate smaller buyers.
Large amounts of waste can result from poor quality product.
Products such as tomatoes may require time to ripen which may lead to shortages.
