The research work entitled “Economics of Brinjal production in Dhamtari Block of Chhattisgarh – An Economic Analysis.’’ was carried out with a view to estimate the costs and returns in brinjal production. Five Villages from Dhamtari block were selected purposively on the basis of area under brinjal crop. After selection of this villages, a list of brinjal growing farmers were prepared and further categorized into three size group on the basis of size of land holding, i.e. small farmer (up to 2.0 ha), medium farmer (2.01 to 4 ha), From each size group 20 farmers were selected randomly. The required data was collected by conducting personal interview of respondents with the help of pre-tested interview schedule. On the primary data pertain to Agricultural year 2015-16, various farm business analysis were carried out to analyze the collected data. The data was analyzed in light of objective using cost of cultivation profitability concept and breakeven production and price. The findings of the study revealed that family size and cultivated area had positive relation with the farm size. The total cost per hectare incurred on brinjal had inverse relation with farm size. The total operational and fixed cost was 56.62 per cent (Rs.49000.48) and 43.37 per cent respectively (Rs.37539.14). Cost concept i.e. A1, A2 B1, B2, C1, C2 and C3 revealed inverse relation with their farm size. The gross income and net income was estimated to Rs 208221 and 113027.23 respectively and benefit cost ratio was found to be 2.18 at aggregate level. Break even yield and prices was estimated to 99.19q/ha and Rs 433.94 respectively.
