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.
