Drying and Milling Cost Functions of Paddy: Empirical Estimates for Government Processing Complexes in Malaysia
In this paper, the statistical cost function approach was used to model the drying and milling cost for government paddy/rice processing complexes in Malaysia. The quadratic and inverse cost [unctions were estimated. The results suggest that there exists cost economies at relatively high output le...

In this paper, the statistical cost function approach was used to model the drying and milling cost
for government paddy/rice processing complexes in Malaysia. The quadratic and inverse cost [unctions
were estimated. The results suggest that there exists cost economies at relatively high output levels for
both the drying and milling operations. Examination of output data indicates that a large number of
government paddy mills operate at low outputs, with cost economies unexploited. |
