Commercial Warehousing: Keeping Products Safe And Fresh In Mississippi

Aside from being the home of the nefariously popular traditional culinary delicacy

inappropriately dubbed the Slugburger, the sunny southern state of Mississippi is also famous for being the birthplace of that refreshing beverage known as root beer. Mississippi is also known for being the largest manufacturer of wood furniture products in the world.

Mississippi is known for having a diverse agriculture, with products such as cactus, catfish, cotton and sweet potatoes being produced in large quantities annually. With all the products that are coming out of Mississippi trying to help out the states economy, it is surprising to note that Mississippi was named one of the poorest states in the United States.

Despite the economic conundrum, Mississippians have found ways to alleviate poverty. One industry that is beginning to take root in the sunny southern state is commercial warehousing. By definition, warehousing is the use of a commercial building for storage of goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, and other similar industries.

Commercial warehousing typically uses very large plain buildings in industrial areas of cities and towns that can hold a large quantity of goods and products. They usually have loading docks that allows owners to load and unload goods from trucks. Sometimes warehouses can load and unload goods directly from railways, airports, or seaports. They often have cranes, forklifts, and other heavy machinery for moving goods, which are usually placed on pallets loaded into pallet racks.

Because of the vast supply of cotton, catfish and other perishable goods, Mississippi warehousing has become increasingly popular among business owners in storing their goods and supplies. Stored goods can vary from any raw materials, to components, or other finished goods associated with agriculture, manufacturing, or commerce.

Large exporters and manufacturers use warehouses as distribution points for retail outlets in Mississippi. This concept creates a reduction to the end cost to the consumer and enhances the production sale ratio. Commercial warehousing has helped Mississippi not only by keeping the states agricultural products fresh and safe, but also by providing more jobs to the states population of close to 3 million residents.
