Abstract
The present study was mainly based on the cost, returns and profitability of Surangi cultivation in Sindhudurg
district of Maharashtra. Data were collected from ninety surangi growers for calculating cost and returns
whereas primary data from twenty respondents were considered for calculation of establishment cost. Farmers
were categorized into small (1-13 trees), medium (14-23), and large (above 24 trees) groups based on number of
trees owned by them. Utilizing standard cost concepts, the study aimed to calculate cost return and profitability
in surangi cultivation. It was observed that at overall level total cost incurred in surangi cultivation was Rs.
86032.82/ha and total returns were Rs.202902.80/ha. Per quintal cost and productivity for surangi at overall
level was Rs. 16583.02 and 5.16 quintal respectively. The benefit cost ratio at overall level was found to be 2.37
which indicates that the Surangi cultivation is profitable.
