Abstract
This study attempts to examine the cost structure and economic feasibility of small-scale rubber plantations in Assam. The total cost for establishing one hectare of rubber holding was estimated at US 1233.40. During the tapping period maintenance cost required was US 390 per hectare per annum. The total cost of production of rubber was US 592.40 per hectare per annum. Labour manure and fertilisers were found to be the dominant items of cost. In spite of the high cost of production small-scale rubber cultivation in Assam is a highly remunerative enterprise with a net return of US 637 per hectare per annum. It was also found to be economically viable and cost effective as indicated by satisfactory values of net present worth (US 1101.50) benefit-cost ratio (1.71) and modified internal rate of returns (17.58).
