  • Frozen Fish Markets and Marketing Problems in Ibadan, Nigeria
    Journal of Agricultural Science, 2010
    Co-Authors: Teslim Bada, M.a.y. Rahji
    Abstract:

    This paper examined the performance of the frozen fish markets in Ibadan, Nigeria in terms of price transmission, market margins, Marketing Costs, and the magnitude of changes in these variables. The study revealed that the average retail price for Mackerel is higher than that of Stockfish while that of Stockfish is greater than that of Sadinela. The same pattern is observed for the wholesale prices, Marketing Costs and net margins. All the measures used to assess the problems gave the same rank ordering. Power supply is first. This is followed by storage, spoilage, transport cost, finance and lastly market levies. A high level of refrigeration is required. Hence unstable power supply could result in spoilage or deterioration in the quality and economic value of fish. There is the need for improvement in the fish market environment in terms of the provision of infrastructures such as electricity and storage facilities.

  • ECONOMICS & Marketing Costs Associated with Alternative Cotton Stripper-Harvesting Systems in Texas
    2000
    Co-Authors: Jeannie Nelson, Sukant K. Misra, Alan Brashears
    Abstract:

    Cotton has consistently ranked as a leading cash crop in Texas. In 1997, Texas led the USA in the production of upland cotton and ranked second in the nation in the production of American pima cotton. Currently, 85% of the harvested cotton in Texas is stripper harvested. The acreage of cotton produced in Texas leaves producers with questions concerning the most cost-effective method of cotton harvesting in individual situations. The objective of this study was to determine the least costly harvesting system for strippers with and without bur extractors, by size of cotton operation in Texas. Data regarding investment Costs, maintenance Costs, and performance rates for four-, six-, and eight-row cotton strippers with and without bur extractors were collected from cotton producers, harvesting equipment owners, equipment dealers, and custom cotton harvesters between June and September 1999. The fixed cost, variable cost, total cost, and average cost of owning and operating each type and size of cotton stripper were calculated using the gathered information for operations ranging from 500 to 2500 acres, increasing in increments of 100 acres. The least costly harvesting systems for strippers with and without bur extractors by size of cotton operation in Texas were determined by comparing the corresponding estimated average harvesting Costs and custom harvesting charges. Assuming an average yield of 524 lb of lint per acre and the Texas average farm size of 582 acres, results indicated that the average cost for a four-row

  • cotton ginning charges harvesting practices and selected Marketing Costs 1994 95 season
    1996
    Co-Authors: Glade Jr H Edward, Mae Dean Johnson, Leslie A. Meyer
    Abstract:

    The average charge for saw-ginning and wrapping a 480-pound net-weight bale of cotton in the United States fell to $42.37 per bale in 1994/95 from $43.28 in 1993/94. A total of 1,300 active cotton gins operated in the 14 major cotton-producing States in 1994/95, down from 1,357 a year earlier. Despite a nearly 22-percent increase in U.S. cotton production in 1994/95, lower gin numbers reflect the long-term trend toward fewer but larger cotton gins. Average volume I processed per gin increased from 11,483 bales in 1993/94 to 14,565 bales in 1994/95. The share of the 1994/95 cotton crop harvested by machine-picking was 76 percent, machine-stripping, 23 percent, and machine-scrapping (gleaning from the ground), 1 percent. A record 78 percent of the U.S. cotton crop was ginned from modules in 1994/95, a 4-percentage-point rise above 1993/94. The average volume of harvested seed cotton needed to yield a 480-pound net -weight bale of lint was 1,444 pounds for machine-picking, 2,153 pounds for machine-stripping, and 1,650 pounds for machine-scrapping (data for machine-scrapping were reported from only Arizona gins in 1994/95). Charges for each of the four primary warehousing services--receiving, storage, universal density compression, and outhandling--increased modestly for the 1994/95 season.

    Abstract:

    The average charge for saw-ginning and wrapping. a 480-pound net-weight bale of cotton in the United States Has 942.61 during the 1991/92 season, $1.07 below the average charge in 1990/91. The lOHer charge reflect- larger cotton production in recent years. There were a total of 1,500 active cotton gins operating in 14 primary cotton-producing States.

  • Inputs Price Transmission Effect on Marketing Margins on Fisheries Products of Iran
    Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, 2015
    Co-Authors: Saravani, Nazar Dahmarde Ghaleno
    Abstract:

    Volatility and instability of inputs price and products on the one hand and high Marketing margins, on the other hand are the main characters of inefficient Marketing of agricultural products. So in this paper we will consider the Prices Transmission of Inputs and Marketing Costs on Marketing Margin of Fisheries Products during 2004 to 2014. The variables examined in this study which were extracted from the website of Fisheries and Statistics Center of Iran, include hot and cold water fish prices (Larve and Fingerling), Fishmeal and Concentrate (inputs), transport and labor Costs and amount of used inputs. The results show that Necessary and sufficient conditions for coincidence of inputs price transmission has rejected and mediators through asymmetrical transmission of input prices to retails increase Marketing margin and thereby earn profits. The coincident test also in the transfer of Marketing Costs showed asymmetry coincidence of Marketing Costs. The variable of total amount of inputs that is considered as an explanatory variable to ensure assume constant returns to scale in Marketing margin model, Its impact on Marketing margins is incremental and statistically significant. The process trend variable coefficient also shows that market margins will increase over time. To improve this situation it is suggested to establish the Notification institutions of market.
