The present study entitled “Studies on yield and economics of winter vegetables in North East Ghat Zone of Odisha” was designed to assess the comparative profitability of selected winter vegetables: namely tomato, cabbage, cauliflower, carrot and beet. The experiment was carried out on instructional farm of College of Agriculture, GIBS, Gunupur, Odisha during pre-rabi season 2017-18 with six treatments and ten replications treated in Randomized Block Design. The results of the study were statistically analysed and it showed significant differences between the treatments. Plant height, crop duration and cost of cultivation was found highest in tomato, whereas; the minimum values for the same were observed in beet. Fruit diameter and fruit weight were recorded maximum in cabbage and minimum in carrot. Carrot was significantly profitable followed by cabbage. Per hectare yield was more in cabbage followed by tomato whereas; gross return, net profit and tomato equivalent yield (TEY) was more in carrot. Based on the above study, it was recommended that the vegetable growers could take up the cultivation of cabbage, carrot and tomato on a commercial scale in and around Gunupur to cater the need of local as well as outside market.
