This document provides a cost estimate for cultivating sugarcane on one acre of land during the year 2010-11. It lists 23 categories of expenditures totaling Rs. 83,425. However, some costs are shared between the initial crop and subsequent ratoon crops. Accounting for this, the actual cost of cultivation for the initial 40 tonne crop is Rs. 76,375. Given this cost and an expected yield of 40 tonnes, the cost of cultivation per tonne is Rs. 1,909 and per quintal is Rs. 191.

COST OF CULTIVATION OF SUGARCANE IN ONE ACRE
(During the year 2010-11)
Sl. Amount Nature of work / Category of Expenditure No. (in Rs.) 1 Preparation of Land: a) Ploughing : 2 Times @ Rs.1100 1st time Rs. 800 2nd time = Rs.1,900 b) Cultivator : 2 Times @ Rs.500, 1st Time Rs.400, 2nd Time = Rs. 900 c) Formation of Ridges : Rs.500 = Rs. 500 3,300 2 Manure Cost: 4 Tractor Loads Manure @ Rs.1200 per tractor including Loading and Transport charges (Rs. 1200 x 4 = Rs.4,800) 4,800 3 Spreading of Manure in the filed (Rs.150 per tractor) 600 4 a) 2 DAP Bags @ Rs. 520/- per bag = Rs.1,040 b) 2 Bags Potash per bag Rs.270 = Rs. 540 c) Urea 2 bags + Potash 2 bags @Rs.280/- per bag (Rs.280x4=Rs.1120/-) = Rs.1,120 d) Ammonium sulphate 4 bags @ Rs.450 per bag (Rs.450x4=Rs.1800/-) = Rs.1,800 e) Micro nutrients = Rs.1,000 f) Applying Fertilizers 4 times @ Rs.200 each time(Rs.200x4=Rs.800) = Rs.1,000 ------------- Rs.6,500 6,500 5 Preparation of Field & Field Channels for Plantation 600 6 Cost of Seed: a) 4 tonnes Seed @ Rs.1,600/- per tonne = Rs.6,400 b) Transport Charges = Rs.1,200 7,600 7 Plantation of Sugarcane: a) Cleaning, Spreading & Plantation = Rs.2,000 b) Treatment = Rs. 300 c) Baskets = Rs. 100 2,400 8 Cost of Weedicide 800 9 Spraying of Weedicide 200 10 Water Management 3,000 11 Motor / Sub-mersible pump maintenance 2,500 12 Interest on Bank Loans 2,500 13 Second Dose of Fertilizers a) Cost of Ammonia + Potash + Complex = Rs.1,675 b) Application = Rs. 150 1,825 14 Cost of 4 Weedings @ Rs.800 per Weeding 3,200 15 Earthling up 2 times @ Rs.1500 each time 3,000 16 Propping 2 times @ Rs.1200/- each time 2,400 17 Pest Control 1,000 18 Land rent 15,000 19 Management & Supervision 2,000 20 Temporary Fencing 2,000 21 Jute rope & Sulphar 200 22 Cutting Charges @ Rs.300 per tonne for 40 tonnes 12,000 23 Transport Charges @ Rs.150 per tonne for 40 tonnes 6,000 TOTAL 83,425 1 Sl. Amount Nature of work / Category of Expenditure No. (Rs.) 1 The following expenditures included in the Cost estimate at Page-1 are intended for 1st crop as well as Ratoon Crop. Therefore 50% of the following expenditure is to be equally shared among both Crops.
a) Cost of preparation of land = Rs. 3,300
b) Seed = Rs. 6,400 c) Cutting & Transport = Rs.1,200 d) Cleaning, Treatment & Plantation = Rs. 2,400 e) Weedicides = Rs. 800 ----------- 14,100 Rs.14,100 ------------ 2 Thus actual cost of 1st Crop will be total Cost of Cultivation at Page-1, viz., Rs.83,425 (minus) 50% of the 76,375 above Costs, viz., Rs.7,050 = Rs.76,375.
YIELD AND INCOME
1 a) Expected yield of Sugarcane in 1 acre (Plant Crop = 40 tonnes) b) Cost of cultivation for 40 tonnes = Rs. 76,375 c) Cost of cultivation per tonne = Rs. 1,909 (Rs. 76,375/40 tonnes = Rs.1,909) d) Cost of cultivation per quintal = Rs. 191 (Rs.1909/10 qtls = Rs.190.90 or Rs.191)
