Crops to compare (per acre values)
| Crop | Total cost | Revenue | Profit | Profit / acre | ROI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | ₹28,000 | ₹46,000 | ₹18,000 | ₹18,000 | 64.3% |
| Mustard | ₹18,000 | ₹44,800 | ₹26,800 | ₹26,800 | 148.9% |
| ChickpeaHighest profit | ₹20,000 | ₹48,600 | ₹28,600 | ₹28,600 | 143% |
How it's calculated
- Revenue = yield per acre × price × area
- Total cost = cost per acre × area
- Profit = revenue − total cost; ROI = profit ÷ cost × 100
Assumptions
All crops are compared on the same land area and season, using quintals and ₹ per quintal. Example values are illustrative only — replace them with your own local figures. Consider water need, market access, risk and crop rotation, not just profit.
Worked example
1 acre wheat: cost ₹28,000, 20 qtl × ₹2,300 = ₹46,000 revenue → profit ₹18,000, ROI 64.3%.
These figures are estimates based only on the values you enter. Actual costs, yields and market prices vary by location, season and practice. This is not financial advice or a guarantee of profit.
