This article is based on a study designed to examine the cost structure of the grain elevator industry in Manitoba for the crop years 1961‐62, 1962‐63 and 1963‐64. Major findings are: The most important factor in reducing average cost is the handling to capacity ratio; the average cost of handling and storing grain was approximately 9.5 cents per bushel per year; the average per bushel cost of handling and storing grain decreased by one‐half cent when the annex to capacity ratio increased by 10 percent; the average per bushel cost of handling and storing grain decreased by three‐tenths of a cent when the utilization of the plant increased by 10 per cent. LE COÜT DE MANUTENTION ET DE STOCKAGE DES GRAINS DANS LES ÉLÉVATEURS DU MANITOBA – Cet article est basé sur une étude destinée Ga étudier le coût de ľindustrie des élévateurs au Manitoba pour les récoltes 1961–62, 1962–63, 1963–64, Les principales conclusions de ľétude sont les suivantes: le facteur le plus important permettant de réduire le coût est le “ratio” de capacité; le coût moyen de manutention et de stockage des grains est approximativement de 9.5 cents par boisseaux par an; le coût moyen par boisseaux de manutention et de stockage des grains diminue de 0.5 cents quand le ratio de capacité augmente de 10%à le coût moyen par boisseaux de manutention et de stockage diminue de 3/10 cents quand ľutilisation de ľusine augmente de 10%.
