Cost of Cultivation
The "Cost of Cultivation" provides an in-depth examination of the economic aspects of agricultural practices in India, segmented by year, state, and specific crops. It meticulously breaks down both operational and fixed costs associated with cultivation, encompassing material inputs such as seeds and fertilizers, labor costs (human, animal, and machine), and other ancillary expenses. Furthermore, the dataset delineates costs under various categorizations (e.g., A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2), giving a comprehensive view of different expenditure scenarios. By detailing the values of main and by-products alongside the implicit rates, this dataset becomes an invaluable tool for policymakers, researchers, and farmers to understand the financial dynamics of farming and make informed agricultural decisions.
