Cost, Return and Productivity of main vegetable crops in Eastern U.P.

摘要

An attempt was made to work out costs, returns and productivity of three main vegetable crops viz. green chilli, potato and onion in Ghazipur district of eastern part of Uttar Pradesh. The study was based on 140 vegetable growers of different farm size groups of the study area. The average input output ratio in the case of green chilli was 1:2.45 and decreased with the increase in farm size except in the case of input cost where the trend was vice-versa. In case of potato crop, the marginal and smallfarms were more productive and profitable as compared to green chilli. Similarly, in the case of onion crop, the marginal and small farms were more productive and profitable.
