<title>A study on structure of costs and returns of pineapple cultivation in Darjeeling district of West Bengal</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="Cost A1, cost A2, cost B, cost C, prime cost, return-cost ratio"/>
<meta name="Premium Series" content="Pineapple (Ananus comesus), an important
commercial fruit crop, is a rich source of vitamin A,
B and C and also contains a large number of nutrients
essential for human health. Besides this, a large
number of value added products like, jam, jelly mixed
jam etc. can be produced, which will provide
remunerative prices to the farming community in a
sustainable manner and also will generate
employment opportunity for unemployed rural
people, Considering the economic importance of the
crop, Government of India has sanctioned one out
of the ten Agricultural Export Zone (AEZ) for
pineapple for all-round development of the pine apple
producing areas. Pineapple, generally, favours humid
tropical climatic with sandy loam soil texture for
production of maximum quality fruits, but it can also
be cultivated successfully in areas having annual
rainfall ranging between 100 – 150 cm" />

<span class="style21">Abstract:</span> <span class="style3">The present study was conducted in purposively selected two villages of Phansideoa block of Siliguri subdivsion of Darjeeling
district of West Bengal. The study revealed that total cost of cultivation, total return, net return over cost C per acre were of
the tune of Rs. 119104.23, Rs. 149750.62 and Rs. 30646.30 respectively and return- cost ratios estimated at subsequent stages
were of the order of 1.64, 1.57, 1.29 and 1.26 when all sample farmers were taken together. Net return would have been greater
if it was estimated by applying prime cost concept of cost of cultivation. Inter-farm size comparison in terms of different cost
concepts revealed that there was an increasing trend with the increase in farm size, but the net return over different cost
concepts used in the study and return-cost ratios were found to have decreased with the increase of farm size at subsequent
stages of estimation of those parameters. Although, the crop created an employment opportunity of 153 man days, there is a
tremendous possibility of creating more job opportunities directly or indirectly if marketing and processing activities were
taken into account and at the same time, it will help pineapple growers to get remunerative prices for their produce.</span></p>
