Containing variable costs - 1987 - NatWest Agricultural Digest (15) January 1987, 4-6(3) .

There is room for containing variable costs of the high input system of cereal production which is likely to continue for some time. Possibilities of cutting costs in seed, fertiliser and agrochemicals are reviewed. It is concluded that there is room for improving gross margins from cereals but it requires an increase in management input.
