Hurdles to Getting GA Seafood into Atlanta
• Lack of direct inland routes from coast
• Need to quickly sell large volumes of highly perishable product
• Harvesters lack resources to vertically integrate their business
• Regional and global price competition
• Lack of funds to promote commodity
• Insufficient supply to meet demand
![Page 20: Green Foodservice Alliance Meeting September 2009](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/554eadaeb4c905977e8b4dcc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Georgia Sea Grant Strategic Planning
