Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to study the economics of rose production in Haryana for two cropping years (2019-20 and 2020-21). Sonipat (Rai block) and Gurugram (Pataudi block) districts were purposely selected. The findings revealed that per hectare cost of cultivation and net returns were ?328201.03 and 200858.97 for 1st year and ?305995.21 and 404866.99 for 2nd year of the crop, respectively. The benefit-to-cost ratio was highest in 2nd year (3.89:1) as compared to the benefit-to-cost ratio of 1st year crop (1.89:1). The marketing efficiency was recorded as highest in Channel-I (23.61 and 22.60) by Shepherd and Acharya Method. The findings suggested value chain activities such as the adoption of integrated pest management, insurance, cheap loan facilities, establishment of processing units, and low-cost cold storage transport facilities.
