CALCULATION OF B:C RATIO
Gross Return- Rs 47,500
Labour Cost- 55 Labour @Rs 300/day = Rs 16,500
Machinery Cost- Rs 5000
Capital Expense= Rs 7200
Farm Expense= Rs 6420
Total Cost of Cultivation= Rs 16,500 + Rs 5000 + Rs 7,200 + Rs 6,420 = Rs 35,120
B:C Ratio= Gross Return/ Cost of Cultivation
= Rs 47,500 / Rs 35,120
= 1.3
ALTERNATE FARM PLAN
As the farmer has 5 desi breed of cows and has been using them only for the purpose of milk-
he has been getting enough cow dung but is not using it them to its proper extent. To utilize
the cow dung and to get additional income I suggested him to go for vermicomposting.
ALTERNATE FARM PLAN- VERMICOMPOST UNIT
Sl.No. Enterprise Area
1. Crop (Existing) 2 acres
Paddy
2. Vermicompost 0.3
Existing cost of cultivation for paddy: -Rs 35,120
MATERIALS COST FOR VERMICOMPOST
Sl.No. Materials Quantity Cost (Rs)
1. Earthworm 6kg 2000
2. Green Manures According to no. of beds. 0 (collected from surrounding)
3. Polythene sheet 1meter 1500
4. Paddy straw According to no of beds. 0 (collected after harvesting of
paddy)

From 0.3 acre, he can make 6 beds of size 2*7 feet and height of 3 feet.
If he goes for vermicompost, he will be getting 10 quintals after a duration of 3 months.
DETAILS OF INCOME FROM VERMICOMPOST
Sl no. Particulars Quantity Rate Price
1. Vermicompost 10 quintals Rs1000/quintal Rs10000
CALCULATION OF B:C RATIO
Gross Returns: Rs.10000
Cost of Earthworm- Rs 2000
Polythene Sheet- Rs 1500
Total Cost of Cultivation: 2000+1500=3500
Net Returns= 10000-3500=6500
B.C ratio= Gross Return/Cost of cultivation
=10000/3500
=2.8
CONCLUSION
From the above table as we can see the alternate farm plan is more profitable for the farmer. I
advised my host farmer to choose vermicompost since it will enable him to generate
additional revenue and support a good standard of life.
