The study was undertaken to know cost returns and profitability for the farmer who want to diversify from traditional crops grown in the area. The per hectare input use in okra cultivation was 304.58 man days human labour, 10.34 kg. seed, 3.68 tonn manures, 1654.48 kg. fertilizers and 26.08 lit. plant protection Okra found to be highly labour intensive crop and provided proportionately higher employment of 304 days to family members i.e. for male and female members. Per hectare overall total cost of cultivation of okra i.e. cost C was Rs. 199264 in which contribution of cost A and cost B were Rs. 78681 (39.49%) and Rs. 163095 (81.84%), respectively. It was observed from the table that, the per hectare total cost of cultivation at overall level was Rs. 199264 and per quintal cost was 1070 resulting in to a yield of okra to the tune of 186.22 quintals. Per hectare profitability of okra cultivation was worked out by deducting different cost viz., Cost 'A', Cost 'B' and Cost 'C' from the per hectare gross returns. The overall profit at Cost A, Cost B and Cost C was Rs. 409956, Rs. 333149 and Rs. 296977, respectively. The per quintal cost (Cost 'C') of okra cultivation was Rs. 1011, Rs. 1067 and Rs. 1131, respectively, with an overall average being Rs. 1070.Keywords

The functional relationship between inputs factors in production of okra namely independent variables like seed (X1), fertilizers (X2), plant protection (X3), human labour (X4) and dependent variable as okra production (yield) was estimated by Cobb-Douglas type production function. The co-efficient of determination (R2) was 0.824 indicating that 82 per cent of the variation in the yield is explained by independent factor such as seed (X1), fertilizers (X2), plant protection (X3) and human labour (X4). R2 was found to bestatistically significant.The functional analysis indicated that seed, fertilizer plant protection and human labour were used excessively. They need proper monitoring to increase allocative efficiency.
