Milk Processor-Distributors' Sales, Costs, and Margins, 1980-81

摘要

Milk processor-distributors' 1981 pretax profits fell to 53 cents per hundredweight (cwt) of raw materials processed (RMP), 17 cents less than in 1980. Returns per cwt rose by $1.26, but costs rose by $1.43, 91 cents for raw materials and 52 cents for operating costs. Increases in total operating costs per cwt of RMP were largest for the smaller volume processors in 1981.
