Abstract/Description: | Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is cultivated in an area of 2.3 lakh ha across 11 states in India (Ravichandran et al., 2014). Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Mizoram and Kerala are the major oil palm growing states in the country, of which Andhra Pradesh alone has a share of more than 65 per cent in area under the crop (Ravichandran et al., 2014). This perennial crop has an economic life span of about 30 years, comprising of three distinct phases viz., juvenile period (1-3 years), yield stabilizing period (4-8 years) and stabilized yield period (9-30 years). The economic part of oil palm is bunch of fruits which are commonly referred as Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB). From this FFB, crude palm oil is extracted from mesocarp and palm kernel oil is extracted from palm kernels. Oil palm is having the pride of giving highest oil yield per unit area (4-6 tonnes of oil ha-1) among all the oil seed crops of the world. Under the present agricultural scenario, in which farmers generally feel that the profitability from farming is declining, it is important to assess the economics of cultivation of any crop. This is true in case of perennial crops, where farmers invest their assets i.e., land, irrigation, manpower etc. for more than three decades and the major decisions taken are irrevocable. Estimation of cost of cultivation of perennial crops or their farming systems were earlier done both under optimum management conditions (research conditions) as well as under farmer’s field conditions (Sairam et al., 1997; 1999; 2004; Maheshwarappa et al., 2000; Ray et al., 2000). Kalidas et al. (2011) estimated the scientific formula for fixing support price for oil palm through estimation of cost of production as well as processing. The overall objective of the paper is to estimate various cost components involved in cost of cultivation of oil palm under farmer’s field condition and to estimate the cost of production of one tonne of oil palm FFB |
