Abstract:

The study was designed with the conspicuous objective of evaluating the costs involved in soybean cultivation and repayment from soybean production in the study area. Primary data were collected from 80 soybean growers stationed in 10 randomly selected villages in a purposively selected block of Wardha district. The respondents were grouped into three size categories: marginal, small, and medium. Founded on their size of holding. The secondary data was collected from various sources. It was observed that the total cost of cultivation for marginal small and medium soybean growers was Rs 23071.85, 25919.21, and 26602.55, respectively, on an average cost of cultivation of Rs 26394.69 on one hectare of land for soybean. The yield of soybean procured by the producer in the study period was found to be 11.44 qt/ha on an overall basis and higher in medium farms. Gross income from per hectare of soybean cultivation was estimated at Rs 39598.08, and net return was Rs 13203.39 per hectare. The cost of production of soybean was calculated at Rs 26394.69 qt/ha. The benefit cost ratio was found to be 1:1.50.

Keywords: Cost of cultivation, Cost of production, Gross returns, Net profit, Benefit-cost ratio
