Abstract: The present study was conducted during 2011-12 on costs and returns of paddy production. It was found that cost of cultivation has increased due to increase the cost of productive resources. The share of variable and fixed cost to total cost was 55.54 and 8.11 percent, rental value of land was to be 27.00 per cent and 9.09 per cent was the managerial cost to the total cost. The overall profit margin was only Rs. 255.50 per quintal. The benefit cost ration was found to be highest for the large farmer followed by small.
