COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF MAJOR OILSEED CROPS OF SAURASHTRA (GUJARAT)

Abstract

Annual growth rates in production and productivity of the crops were found positively significant however, the rate of increase in the yield of groundnut was relatively less. Higher variability in area, production and yield was observed in case of castor crops. Human labour, bullock labour, manures and chemical fertilizers were the main items of operating cost in all the crops, moreover, seed played important role in the total cost of groundnut cultivation and irrigation charges had greater effect on the cost of cultivation of castor crop. Castor crop was found more remunerative to growers as compared to other oilseed crops under study
