Abstract

The study covered in part by this report was largely designed to provide current detailed estimates of the major costs of marketing American lint cotton. These and the related data obtained from the study are needed for measuring changes in marketing costs, to help find ways of increasing cotton marketing efficiencies, and for evaluating existing and proposed policies and programs affecting cotton. They are based mainly on information supplied by a sample of the cotton shipping firms and marketing associations located in the 15 markets designated for establishing official price quotations for U.S. cotton. The estimates reflect within reasonable limits, variations in kind, amount, rates, and efficiencies of the services involved in assembling cotton in specified Cotton Belt regions and trading areas and in delivering it to customers throughout the United States. This summary report includes such estimates for cotton purchased in each of 3 trading areas within the Southeastern region and shipped to 4 specified outlets. These estimates are based largely on data from shippers located in the Atlanta, Augusta, Charleston, Greenville, and Montgomery market areas.
