Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Lower U.S. cotton production in recent years, together with declining market price trends and rising costs, have resulted in serious economic problems for many cotton growers. Increased use of synthetics and imported fabrics has displaced cotton in many uses. Growers are looking for ways to increase their net returns from cotton, and a larger share of the textile market. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the opportunities for cotton growers to increase their net incomes from cotton through cooperative action to reduce gin and other costs. The primary gin cost data used in this study came from 32 Arkansas cooperative gins. The relationships, other findings, suggestions, and recommendations on ginning apply specifically to the cooperative gins studied but they also have broad application to similar gins in nearby States. And some of them, such as seasonality, apply to most or all other cooperative gins.
