Abstract

Excerpts from the report: This report provides information about the profitability of investments in sweetpotato canning plants in North Carolina. The analysis is believed to be applicable throughout most of the South. The direction which developments in the sweetpotato processing industry should take rests on several strategic considerations which influence investment profitability. Specifically, the research objectives were: 1. To develop estimates of the initial durable goods investment required for four model sweetpotato canning plants having capacities of 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, and 40,000 pounds of raw product per hour of operation. 2. To estimate costs and revenues in operating the four plants for different lengths of season. 3. To evaluate the influence of length of operating season, product prices, factor prices, and less-than-capacity operation on the profitability of new investment in this industry.
