Rajasthan is one of the major fenugreek producing states. In 2012-13, the total area under fenugreek in Rajasthan state was 82.36 thousand hectares and produced 87.38 thousand tones of fenugreek. Costs in agriculture play a significant role in makingthe farm sector economically viable and feasible under the pressure of continuous rise in input prices. The present study was aimed to estimate the cost of cultivation of fenugreek in the state of Rajasthan. Shri-Madhopur mandi (Sikar) and Chomu mandi (Jaipur) were selected on the basis of highest arrivals of fenugreek production during the past three years. The fenugreek growing farmers of the selected villages were divided into marginal, small, semi-medium, medium and large. The primary data were collected from the producers. Per hectare average total cost (cost c2) of cultivation, operational costs on overall basis and overhead cost were IR/s 23827.81, IR/s 16902.87 and IR/s 6924.94, respectively. Per rupee return from cultivation was IR/s 1.92 andoverall cost of production per quintal was IR/s 1128.04. Herewith, arrangement of co-operative marketing societies and enrollment of farmers to these societies may be better alternative to meet the financial obligations.
