Abstract
Kesar mango is grown in Khed, Ambegaon and Junnar tahsils of Pune district hence, these three tahsils have been considered for the study. About 30 Kesar mango growers from Khed, Ambegaon and Junnar tahsils of Pune district were selected. Cost of establishment of mango orchard per hectare for five years was Rs. 1, 74,970. Initial establishment costs such as planting material, gap filling and fencing account for 9.76 per cent of total establishment cost. The average initial establishment cost was Rs. 17100. Total cost of production was Rs. 81,831. The prevailing rate in the market during the period under study was Rs. 3200 per quintal. The gross income received from Kesar mango was observed to be Rs. 1,31,200. The per hectare net profit at input cost and total cost was Rs. 83065 and Rs. 49369, respectively. B:C ratio was 1.60. The most important problems in the production of mango were heavy investments, pest and disease and fruit drop which were ranked as first, second and third respectively. The efforts need to be made to increase area under Kesar mango in plain zone of western Maharashtra.
