| In recent years, fresh fruits and vegetables have attracted attention as potential alternative agricultural enterprises.

Implications are derived for market penetration by new produce suppliers, particularly growers of specialty produce items. Results are reported form personal interviews conducted with the person most responsible for produce merchandising within each of 17 supermarket chains operating in the Virginia area. |

A translog stochastic frontier function is estimated simultaneously with those variables in the model for inefficiency effects. The results indicate that technical efficiency among the firms ranges from 42 percent to 99 percent. More efficient firms are those with a higher degree of vertical integration that are located in rural areas and have sufficient investment in human capital... |
