A carton system for transport, distribution and point-of-sale display of produce consists of a regular corrugated carton and a pair of open produce trays constructed for stacking within the carton for transport. The carton is separable, e.g., at the distribution site, into a pair of carton segments, each sized to fit over a single tray to form a distribution package. The carton segments are also sized to be removed from the trays, e.g., by a retailer, inverted, and the trays placed within the carton segments for point-of-sale display. In one embodiment, the carton segments are marked to be legible in both distribution and point-of-sale arrangement. A method of transport, distribution and point-of-sale display of produce, especially single finger bananas, is also described.
