    [abstract] =>  The present investigation was undertaken to study the cost and returns of cabbage cultivation in Garhbeta-ll Block of Paschim Medinipur district by using primary data. The study covered in Garhbeta-ll block, 4 villages and 104 cabbage cultivators. The tabular analysis and cost concept (Cost A, Cost B and Cost C) was used. The average total cost of cabbage cultivation per acre during the early winter season was ₹67,098.00. This cost was highest on marginal farms, followed by small and medium farms. In contrast, the total cost during the late winter season was ₹57,967.66 per acre. Among the components of Cost A, human labor emerged as the largest expense due to the labor-intensive nature of cabbage cultivation particularly for tasks such as harvesting, weeding, and irrigation. Per quintal average, the farm harvest price received by the cabbage growers was Rs 1921 in early winter season and Rs 1005/- per quintal in late winter season. The overall cost-output ratio indicated that an investment worth Rs 1 on all the inputs used in the cultivation of cabbage yielded an output worth Rs 1.77 in early winter season. Similarly cost-output ratio was 1: 1.51 in late winter season. Net profit overall is ₹51,735.10 in early winter and ₹29,589.60 in late winter, early winter cultivation is more profitable than late winter cultivation due to higher gross returns and market prices. The empirical results relating to the household participation in cabbage cultivation are presented in this paper. The Family Labour is positively and significantly associated in cabbage cultivation. It is significant (1 % level) for cabbage cultivation. In Probit model there exists a positive relationship between Family Income (FI) and household participation in cabbage cultivation. This positive relationship is statistically significant at 1% level. Participation of the household in cabbage cultivation is positively influenced by Farmer’s Education Level (FEL). Irrigation Facility (IF) also negatively and significantly influences household participation in cabbage cultivation. Crop Loan availability may influence an individual’s level of participation in cabbage cultivation.
