Estimating the added value of wheat grain mills in Nineveh governorate for the year 2020

Abstract EN

The study aims to find the added value of the agricultural industrialization of mills in Nineveh Governorate for the year 2020, and to calculate costs, revenues and profits and to diagnose the challenges and problems of the wheat grain milling industry.

For the year 2020, out of a total of (41) mills distributed throughout the governorate, the results of the study indicated that the average total value added for grinding one ton of wheat grain amounted to (27,632.414) dinars / ton, and that the average net added value of grinding one ton amounted to (26556,617) dinars / ton, and the average total cost per ton of the crop amounted to (14,394.891) dinars / ton.

and the average profit for grinding per ton was (13237.951) dinars / ton, and as for the average revenue per ton, it amounted to (56824.958) dinars / ton.

The results indicated that the greater the share supplied to the mill by the General Company for the manufacture of grains, the production costs would decrease, which leads to that the added value would increase, and then the profits of the mill would increase and an increase in the national income would be achieved.

One of the problems that mills suffer from is the low grinding wages per ton of wheat crop.

The study recommended increasing the milling wages per ton of wheat crop paid to the mills in order to cover the high costs.
