It further revealed that at 14 per cent discount rate, the large orchards has maximum NPV, (Rs.77,394.70), BCR (1.64), IRR (34.37 %) and minimum PHP (6.70) years as compared to less NPV (Rs. 67,792.76), BCR (6.11), IRR (28.23 %) and maximum PBP (6.11 years) in small orchards. For the overall size orchards the NPV was Rs.72,555.36, BCR 1.64, IRR 29.91 /o and PBP 6.92 years.
