Groundnut Production Cost

 

Groundnut Production Cost

 

A.Non-Material cost:

Sl. no	Items of operation	Mechanical labours @1400tk/ha	No. of labours @250tk/head/day	Total cost (Tk.)
01.	Preparation of land by 5 ploughing & laddering	5X1400	35	15,750.00
02.	Trimming of ails, spading of corners, breaking of clods & removal of stubble		6	1500.00
03.	Application of manures & fertilizers		3	750.00
04.	Shelling out of groundnut & line sowing		25	6250.00
05.	Thinning out & gap filling		5	1250.00
06.	Weeding, thinning, earthing up & top dressing of fertilizers (2 times)		60	15,000.00
07.	Irrigation application (2 times)		6	1500.00
08.	Application of pesticides		3	750.00
09.	Harvesting & cleaning		50	12,500.00
10.	Drying & storage		10	2500.00
	Total	=	=	57,750.00

 

B. Material cost:

Sl. no	Items	Quantity required Kg/ha	Price Tk./kg	Cost (Tk.)
01.	Seed	100	116	11,600.00
02.	Manures & Fertilizers
	Cowdung	2000	1Tk./kg	2,000.00
	Urea	25	18.00	450.00
	TSP	160	23.00	3,680.00
	MoP	85	17.00	1,445.00
	Gypsum	170	30.00	5,100.00
	Boric acid	10	200	2,000.00
	ZnSO4	4	150	600.00
03.	Pesticides			500.00
04.	Miscellaneous			500.00
	Total	=	=	27,875.00

 

Total input cost: Non-Material cost (A) + Material cost (B)

                              = (57,750.00 + 27,875.00) Tk.  = 85,625.00 Tk.

 

C. Overhead cost:

Sl.no.	Items	Cost (Tk.)
01.	Interest on total input cost @ 8% for 6 months	3,425.00
02.	Interest on lease value of land 10,000 @ 10 tk. per annum for a period of 6 months	500.00
03.	Miscellaneous cost (5% of total input cost)	4,281.25
	Total	8,206.25

 

Total cost of production = Non-Material cost (A) + Material cost (B) + Overhead cost (C)

                                          = (57,750.00 + 27,875.00 + 8,206.25) Tk.

                                          = 93,831.25 Tk.

 

D. Gross income

 

Products	Yield (kg/ha)	Value rate (Tk./kg)	Value (Tk.)
1.      Grain	2400	75	1,80,000.00
2.      Byproduct	3600	2	7,200.00
Total	=	=	1,87,200.00

 

E. Net income = Gross income – Total cost of production

                           = (1, 87,200.00- 93,831.25) Tk.

                           = 93,168.75 Tk.

 

Benefit cost ratio (BCR) = Gross income/ Total cost of production

                                       = 1, 87,200.00 tk. / 93,831.25 tk.

                                           = 1.99

Cost of production per unit of product (CPUP) = TCP – VB / YP

                                                                                 = 93,831.25 tk. – 7,200.00 tk. / 2400 kg

                                                                                 = 36.10 tk. / kg
