Abstract

This report, based on a continuing study, analyzes cotton warehousing operating costs for 1969-70 and projects costs for 1971-72. Storage cost for 1969-70 increased about 7 percent over 1968-69. Cost for storing and handling combined increased slightly more than 4 percent. These costs are based on an analysis of accounting and operational data obtained by mail questionnaire from 102 warehouses and compresses. These sample firms represent about 35 percent of the total storage space approved in 1969-70 for storing and handling cotton owned or controlled by the Commodity Credit Corporation. Data from these firms also were used to develop cost estimates for 1971-72 based on projections of production, disappearance, and price levels. Estimates of competitive costs for 1971-72 were also developed based on projected disappearance, and on three levels of production of 10.0, 11.2, and 12.0 million bales.
