This paper presents an assessment of the potential impact, at the exporter level, of implementing industry-wide uniform production and post-harvest practices in snow pea farming that are consistent with U.S. Good Agricultural Practice guidelines. Some exporters indicated paying an averaging of $0.74 per kg of snow peas that were 60% to 80% export grade on the open market. However, others paid an average of $0.77 and $0.84 per kg for snow peas that were 85% to 95% export grade. Despite the appearance of the open market being the low cost source for snow peas, our research indicates the opposite is true. The open market was the most expensive source for export quality snow peas. That, combined with the lack of record keeping and other quality safeguards, suggests that exporters who obtained snow peas primarily from the open market were at a competitive disadvantage.
