Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: Rapid changes in processing of oilseeds after World War II have continued during the period from 1952-53 to 1957-58. The principal changes have been in types of processing equipment and sizes of plants. Since the 1952-53 processing season, there also has been a continued decrease in the number of mills processing the various oilseeds, while the quantity processed per mill has continued to rise. This rise in capacity per mill is due to the expansion of facilities of active mills and the building of larger and more efficient new mills. The purpose of this report is to show how processors, refiners, and manufacturers of products using vegetable oils have adjusted their respective industries to handle the expanded output, as a guide in improving efficiency. Any savings effected in the processing and marketing of these products through increased efficiencies can be reflected in the returns to growers and the prices paid by consumers.
