Abstract:
The economic viability of Kinnow Mandarin production remains a significant concern for farmers and policymakers in North-Western India. This study evaluates the sustainability of Kinnow production in 2024, focusing on Sirsa district, Haryana. Previous research has emphasized the profitability of Kinnow cultivation, with high returns on investment and efficient marketing channels ensuring up to 81% of the consumer price for farmers.
The establishment cost of Kinnow orchards in Haryana is estimated at ` 127,979 per hectare, with an annual net return of ` 272,845, yielding an internal rate of return (IRR) of 26.24%. As every year, there is change in cost of production and returns in the value chain of kinnow because of fluctuating prices of input as well as price of the commodity, it is important to find current cost and returns associated in the business. This study aims to provide a comprehensive financial analysis and highlight key challenges and opportunities to sustain Kinnow’s economic viability.
