 ABSTRACT

At the PARC Arid Zone Research Centre, a study has been conducted to determine the cost and returns (profit) of rice cultivation in D. I. Khan District, Province Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2020. The fundamental underlying principle of the viability of rice cultivation was that rice would only be grown by individuals/farmers if it had a positive effect on their financial condition. A comprehensive survey was performed involving 200 respondents from 10 sampled D. I. Khan villages, i.e. Rangpur, Paharpur, Daraban, and Prova. Besides, farm budgeting methodology was used to predict expense, return and benefit. The results showed that the per-acre average cost was Rs. 31,220, and it was calculated that the average rice production (output) was 1800kg per acre. The total return of the production of rice was, thus Rs. 70,500 per acre. Therefore, the analysis demonstrates that there is a positive effect between the return price and the export of rice, while the import cost of rice harms the production of rice, on the other hand.

Key words: Arid Zone Research Centre, Rice, Cost, Return, Profit.
