Author(s) : BEILOCK R., CLEMMONS R., DUNN J., PRENTICE B.

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

The logistical system for produce in Mexico and its linages with the USA are examined. The findings suggest both problems and opportunities related to logistics. Among the problems are: over-reliance on an already strained trucking system, a lack of refrigerated storage, and inefficient port and rail systems. Among the opportunities are: some progress to date and the potential for markedly greater improvements in border clearance procedures, potential to exploit under-utilized southbound refrigerated capacity to expand perishable exports to Mexico, and the existence of a strata of sophisticated firms in Mexico for the establishment of joint ventures.
