The present study aims to examine the cost and returns of Chick pea. The study was conducted in Bemetara district of Chhattisgarh state. From the district two blocks namely Bemetara and Saja were selected and from bemetara block nine villages selected and six villages were selected from Saja block and fifteen chick-pea growing farmers were selected from each village for the investigation of the study. The primary data were collected from the 225 producers through personal interview by survey method. The finding of the study revealed that cost of cultivation per hectare of chick-pea was ₹32486.21 per ha. The cost of cultivation per hectare showed increasing trend with respect to the farm size of holdings. The cost of cultivation in case of marginal farm was higher (₹30469.98/ha.) followed by small farms (₹31235.90/ha.), medium farms (₹33587.90/ha.) and large (₹35839.01ha.) respectively. On an overall basis input-output ratio in chick-pea cultivation was 1:81. On an overall basis net return in chick-pea cultivation was ₹ 26574.80 per ha. The average yield of chick-pea in the study area was 13.03 qt/ha which shows very satisfactory result in respect to average yield of Chhattisgarh i.e. about 1.01 qt/ha.
