Abstract: Excerpts from the report Introduction: The general objective of this study is to provide information on marketing costs and charges for medium-grain rice. The specific objectives are to: (1) determine price spreads, margins, and functional shares, (2) analyze costs where available, and (3) determine the factors influencing short- and long-run changes in these price spreads for 1947-58. Because of the lack of data for a detailed analysis, this study is restricted to a discussion of changes only in selected broad marketing margin categories. No attempt is made to break up the farm-to-retail spread into all its individual components either by marketing agencies involved in rice marketing or by cost items associated with bringing the rice from the farm to the consumer. Largely because of the availability of retail data, price spreads and margins for medium-grain rice receive the primary attention in this report.
