ABSTRACT

The study was undertaken to work out the costs and returns of rapeseed-mustard for Bharatpur district of Rajasthan on per hectare basis for different categories of farmers by using CACP cost concept. Study was mainly based on the primary data, which were collected through survey method from selected sample respondents (36 small, 15 medium and 9 large) for the agricultural year 2009-10. The results indicated that production of rapeseed-mustard was profitable as reflected through its net returns. The per hectare net return over total cost were Rs. 4408, 3964 and 2198 on small, medium and large farms respectively. It was found that per hectare productivity of rapeseed-mustard was marginally higher (12.88 quintals) on small farms compared to medium (12.72 quintals) and large farms (12.52 quintals), due to better care and management of crop on account of small area under it.
