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 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. Information was obtained mainly from 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 cost estimates reflect, within reasonable limits, variations in the kind, amount, rates, and efficiencies of the services involved in assembling cotton, in all 4 regions and important market trading areas of the Cotton Belt, and delivering it to customers throughout the world. This summary includes estimates for all cotton purchased through the Cotton Belt and shipped to 9 specified outlets.
