ABSTRACT
Present study analyzed the “Economics of Production of NTFPs: A case study of Harar (Terminalia chabula) in Himachal Pradesh”, a sample of 40 farmers each from Sirmour and Kangra dist. of Himachal Pradesh. Average establishment cost per year was Rs 13550 per 100 plants. The maintenance cost of grafted harar increased from Rs 12241.78 to Rs 123675.30 during 2nd year to 15thyear and net returns varied from Rs (-) 12241 to 116262. The payback period worked out to be 9 years, NPV as Rs226,106, the benefit-cost ratio as 1.57 and internal rate of return (IRR) as 33 per cent under the present value summation method.
Key words: Non-timber forest produce, cost of cultivation and harar
