Abstract

Excerpts from the report: This report analyzes the costs of handling, processing, storing, and related services in commercial facilities handling Burley tobacco during 1966/67 and presents estimates for 1968. Results are based on costs in nine firms processing and eight firms storing Burley tobacco. The nine processing firms redried 43.6 million pounds (redried weight) of leaf tobacco. Tobacco was threshed by three firms and yielded 16.9 million pounds. Total green weight received by all firms processing amounted to 76.8 million pounds of tobacco. Costs were developed for tobacco processing, which included receiving tobacco into the plant through packing it into hogsheads and shipping it out. These costs were for redried weight of tobacco packed as leaf and strip (lamina). Strip costs included packing and shipping stems. Costs were also developed for tobacco storage and storage services. Services included in this report are innage, outage, sampling, reweighing and restoring, and reweighing while performing other services. Labor costs for 1966/67 were updated to reflect minimum wage changes effective February 1, 1968, and changes in other variable costs as of January 1968.
