Excerpt from A Cost Comparison of Four Container Systems to Export Dry Edible Beans to the United Kingdom

Estimated costs for four containerized export systems for shipping dry edible beans from the United States to the United Kingdom were studied. The four systems included beans transported in the following media: burlap bags, paper bags, polypropylene bags, and bulk-loaded into 20-foot van containers.

The paper bag system had the highest estimated total cost at per van container. This amount was more per van container than the least expen sive system, the bulk-loaded. The burlap bag system's estimated total cost was per van container or more per van container than the cost of the bulk-loaded system. The polypropylene bag system had an estimated total cost of per van container. This amount was more per van container than the cost of the bulk system. The bulk-loaded system, which was the least expensive overall, costs an estimated per van container to move pounds of dry edible beans from Michigan to the United Kingdom.

With transport charges on a per-container basis, the main advantage with the bulk-loaded system was savings from the expense of purchasing container bags as needed by the other systems. The remainder of the savings was generated by reducing costs for handling and damage.
