An attempt has been made to examine the resource use efficiency in dry chilli production in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh. Research was based on randomly selected 99 chilli growers who belong to 3 villages of Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh. The results revealed that cost of seed, manure and fertilizer and price of chilli were significantly affecting profit. On the other hand cost of plant protection chemical was moderately affecting profit. Human labour and fixed cost were insignificant but positively influencing the profit. Bullock labour and machine labour (power use) was negatively significant at one percent level indicating that the farmers incurred more cost on power use and over utilized it. R2 was 0.96 indicates that 96 per cent variation in profit was explained by those variables which were included in the function representing a goodness in fitting the regression equation. The over utilized resource (power use) was found to be 63 per cent, and therefore the study recommended that if the farmers use the bullock and machine power (X5 variable) efficiently by 37 per cent more than they could save Rs 11628.00 per hectare (Rs 204 per hour).
