Abstract

The cotton warehousing industry was able to hold the line on storage and handling costs in fiscal 1972-73 despite continuing increases in input costs. An increase in the average occupancy level of about 5 percent offset increases in labor costs and increases in capital expenditures. These findings are based on analysis of accounting and other data obtained by mail questionnaire from warehouse and compress facilities. The types of cost given are (1) total cost for all facilities, (2) out-of-pocket cost which excludes depreciation and interest on investment, and (3) projected cost for 1974-75 based on projected disappearance and production levels of 13.0 million and 14.5 million bales, respectively.
