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...
