Citrus packhouses come in many shapes and sizes. They all perform the same function, and hopefully the packed citrus that is dispatched is all of the same high standard, but they do this with varying degrees of efficiency and consistency, and at vastly varying costs.

Fruit packhouses are highly industrialised operations, mostly found in very rural settings.
Some packhouses are in small towns, but many are on farms. The infrastructure in these
areas was generally not developed to accommodate industrialised operations, and it is
therefore crucial to be aware of the infrastructure requirements for packhouses, and to
consider the ways in which these requirements can be met where external infrastructure is
not readily available.
