Of rough rice from the 1963 crop. 2/ The mills vary in size, capacity, equipment used, technology, -and Operating practices. The cost Of processing rice in these mills also varies.An earlier study by the u.s. Department of Agriculture revealed that in many rice milling plants nearly 45 percent of costs of operation are for employ ees. 3/ Over half Of these costs were paid as salaries and wages to production workers while the remainder went to other salaried employees, including clerical and executive personnel. Among the rice mills studied, labor costs per unit of output were highly variable, indicating a wide range in efficiency and utiliza tion of labor. These findings suggested a need for information concerning labor requirements or standards for rice milling in order to utilize human resources more efficiently.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
