 ABSTRACT

Economics of oilseeds production in the study area stated that the per hectare cost of cultivation of groundnut, sunflower and castor were estimated to be Rs.43233.88, Rs.27386.18and Rs.18986.23, respectively. Productivities of these oilseeds were found to be 14.82, 11.75 and 14.03 quintals per hectare, respectively. Net returns per hectare were calculated to be Rs.19925.33 in groundnut, Rs.5180.33 in sunflower and Rs.33256.90 in castor cultivation. Maximum gross return was observed in case of groundnut; however maximum net return was obtained in castor cultivation. So far as the output-input ratio is concerned, maximum was obtained in case of castor i.e. 2.75, followed by groundnut (1.46) and sunflower (1.19).

Keywords: Oilseeds, Cost of cultivation, Gross return, Net return, Output-input ratio
