The study was aimed at analyzing the comparative economic viability of alternate crops to the FCV tobacco production in the three soil regions of Andhra Pradesh. The alternate crops to FCV Tobacco were identified based on area coverage and the farmers’ acceptance to grow that crop if FCV tobacco is not available. The cost-return structure for FCV Tobacco (450 growers) as well as for Blackgram-Maize system, Maize, Sugarcane, Oil palm and Paddy for NLS region (240 farmers), Redgram and Bajra for SLS region (120 farmers) and Bengalgram, Maize and Jowar for SBS region (120 farmers) were studied. Even though the net return on variable cost invested ratio was found more than FCV Tobacco with 1.93 for Blackgram-Maize system in NLS region and 2.43 for Bengalgram & 1.69 for Maize in SBS region, the real gross margin in quantity terms was recorded more with FCV Tobacco. The gross returns on rupee invested (BCR) has clearly showed the dominant returns for FCV Tobacco compared to its alternate crops during 2016-17 season. It was revealed that the FCV Tobacco growers have received better returns by growing the crop compared to its alternate crops in all the three regions. The motives behind the FCV Tobacco cultivation by the growers were expressed as they were habituated to cultivate tobacco with production skills and infrastructure, getting the assured institutional loans and already attached to the bank with loan, no remunerative returns from alternative crops cultivated, availability of infrastructure like barn, grading sheds etc. & skilled contract migrant hired labour for production, assured market facility through Tobacco Bard etc
