Popis:	The design and operation of an electronic measuring system for simultaneous measurement of vertical and horizontal dimensions of horticultural produce are described. The system consists of two electronic scale units, mounted on a rigid support frame, which are connected to a portable computer via a multiplexer. A hand-held electronic calliper is also connected to the multiplexer to add versatility to the system for measuring small or untrimmed produce. System components are readily available and relatively inexpensive. The system is accurate, reliable and reduces total measuring and data entry time to about 40% of that required using manual methods.Key words: Electronic measuring system, horticultural produce
