Marketing standards

Juice factories frequently employ field persons to advise growers on the appHcation of sprays to the growing crops so that residues on harvested fmit are within prescribed limits. They also may sample the crop before harvest for analysis, and coordinate harvesting with factory production schedules. Payment for raw materials is frequently based on specifications that are either official government grades or stated market standards. Official graders may be employed to test each load.

The ability of the trustee to agree to nonmaterial term modifications and exercise certain prescribed powers without consultation of bondholders benefits all parties to the deal both practically and economically because expensive and time consuming bondholders meetings are not necessary to deal with such issues.

In addition, quality depends on whether the milled flour comes from the inner or outer parts of the endosperm. Therefore, milled flour is controlled in the plant for its baking properties and blended or mixed to yield a commercial product based on present market standards (see also below). The characteristics of a few milling products and their applications are listed in Table 15.35.
