      abstract = {Excerpts from the report Summary:  The primary defects in  the San Juan market facilities for handling food and  related products are:  (1) The lack of sufficient warehouse  facilities at shipside, (2) the splitting of market  operations among several market areas, (3) excessive costs  of cartage, deterioration, and spoilage, (4) the absence of  a suitable livestock market with the necessary slaughtering  and processing facilities for the proper handling of  animals, particularly of heavier weights, (5) the lack of  grain storage, feed mixing, and milling facilities for the  efficient handling of imported grain and utilization of the  various commodities produced on the Island that could be  used in mixed feeds, and (6) the need for improved  vegetable-oil-extracting facilities.  To correct these  defects this report proposes the construction of three  types of facilities, which will provide a satisfactory  outlet for an increased production of food products on the  Island and for the efficient handling, processing, and  distribution of these and imported products to the people  in the San Juan metropolitan area, and to a lesser degree  throughout the Island.},
