| description | 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. |
