The present study analyses the cost and yield in contract farming. Tenure is an important aspect of contract farming. For the study, the tenants are selected from four different types of contract farming viz., Cash Contract, Sharecropping, Mortgaging and Temple contract lands. The total cost of cultivation for an acre is high for cash tenants, sharecropping, mortgage tenants and temple contract lands respectively. The profit earned is high for temple land since it is owned and cultivated for long tenure. The cost of cultivation and rental amount for temple land is low, the profit is high. But, the other contract lands involve high cost of cultivation and high rental amount. As a result, the temple contract land is more efficient as compared to other contract lands. This is due to the tenure and security involved in temple contract lands.
