The average net profit/ha over (cost-C2) was Rs. 14058.13 and it increased with the increase in size of farms. The overall input – output ratio was 1:1.55 on the basis of cost-C2. It was the highest (1:1.58) on medium farms, followed by small farms (1:1.54), and marginal farms (1:1.51). The average cost of production per quintal of soybean was about Rs. 2232.51 which was lowest than the market price of soybean ranging from Rs. 3000 to Rs. 3300 per quintal.
