3 General Refrigerated Warehouse Capacity Up Percent General refrigerated storage capacity in the United States totaled 3. billion gross cubic feet on October, 003, an increase of percent since the previous survey was conducted two years ago. This was the 3nd biennial survey of refrigerated warehouses. The five States with the largest gross general warehouse capacity (million cubic feet) were: California with 9; Florida, 3; Washington, 89; Wisconsin, 7 and Texas with 9. Usable refrigerated space in general storages was. billion cubic feet, or 79 percent of the gross space. Freezer space was 78 percent of the usable refrigerated space with the remaining percent used as cooler space. Convertible refrigerated space was classified as usable freezer space. general warehouse capacity totaled.3 billion gross cubic feet in 003, accounting for 7 percent of the general storage. general storage capacity increased percent since 00 and is 0 percent above the capacity of ten years ago. Private and semiprivate general warehouse capacity totaled 80 million gross cubic feet, or percent of the general gross refrigerated space. Apple and pear storage totaled 73 million gross cubic feet, up percent from October, 00. Controlled atmosphere (CA) capacity totaled 9 million bushels, up 3 percent from 00. The State of Washington had 80 percent of the Nation s CA capacity. Capacity of Refrigerated Warehouses 003 Summary January 00 NASS, USDA

13 Definitions General storages: Includes refrigerated facilities classified as general storages, plus facilities classified as storing only cheese, meat, or citrus concentrates. general storages: Refrigerated facilities maintained for storing food for others at specified rates per unit. Private and semiprivate general storages: Refrigerated facilities maintained by an operator to facilitate his principal function as a producer, processor, or manufacturer of food products. The space is used to store the owner s products, although some space may be used by others at specified rates per unit stored. Working space, chill rooms, and curing rooms in meat storages are not included in the storage statistics. Apple and pear storages: Refrigerated facilities maintained exclusively for storing apples or pears. Storages operated by cooperatives for use by members are included as private storages. Cooler space: Space that maintains temperatures between 0 and 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Freezer space: Space that maintains temperatures at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Controlled atmosphere (CA) space: Sealed cooler space in which the oxygen and carbon dioxide content is controlled to extend the storage life of apples or pears. Gross space: area under refrigeration, measured from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling. Usable space: Actual area used for storing commodities. Gross space less an allowance for aisles, posts, coils, blowers, etc. Number of storages: Storages at different locations are counted separately even though operated by the same management.

14 Survey Procedures and Reliability Survey procedures: Questionnaires were mailed about the 0th of September to operators of over 3,000 public and private cold storage warehouses. Two thousand six hundred eighty-two firms met the qualifications that their warehouses were artificially cooled to a temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and normally stored food products for 30 days or more. The other firms who received questionnaires either did not qualify or the plants had ceased being cold storage facilities during the past two years. The list included specialized storage facilities meeting the 30 day requirement, such as fruit houses, dairy manufacturing plants, frozen fruit, fruit juice, and vegetable processors, and poultry and meat packing plants. Wholesalers, jobbers, packer branch houses, and frozen food processors whose entire inventories are turned over more than once a month were excluded. Firms that did not respond were mailed a second request and/or phoned or visited. Estimating procedures: Data for reporting firms were added to estimates for non-reporting firms to obtain State and National totals. Estimates for non-reporting firms were set based on previous reports or administrative data. Revision policy: These data are considered to be final and will not be revised. Reliability: Usable reports were received from about,89 firms which represent about 8 percent of the total capacity tabulated. The numbers published should be considered to be minimum figures as there are cold storage firms that are not known to NASS. Special care in identifying individual plants minimizes duplication. Survey data are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omissions and mistakes in reporting and processing the data. While these errors cannot be measured directly, they are minimized by carefully reviewing all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
