The cost incurred towards development of land are discussed below:-
The cost of land leveling and preparation
Prior to the planting first step in the mango orchard establishment are we need to plough and level the land. Ploughing and leveling one-acre land to establish mango orchard may require around Rs. 5000 as hiring and fuel charges of the machinery.
The fencing and gate cost per one acre
Fencing and gate are necessary for every orchard to protect the crop from trespassing and for preventing the robberies of farm machinery. So, to establish fence and gate for the one-acre land farmer has to bear an amount of Rs.16, 000 in which Rs.14, 000 was allotted for fencing around the orchard and remaining Rs.2, 000 is allocated to purchase gate.
The cost of bore well
We need at least one bore well to maintain a one-acre mango orchard. Farmer needs to spend around Rs. 25, 000 to establish one bore well.

The cost for drip installation
Nowadays as micro-irrigation methods gaining popularity over flooding due to increased yields and reduced water loss, ease of operation, etc. so, to install drip for one-acre mango orchard we need around Rs. 10, 000.
The cost of infrastructure
It comprises of the cost incurred towards the construction of labor room, godowns, etc. to develop infrastructure in one-acre mango orchard required amount of money is Rs. 30, 000

Working capital for one-acre mango orchard are given below
The cost of planting material
We can get planting material in all ranges of price but however, it depends upon the quality of the material. By spending around Rs.50 per seedling we can get good quality planting material. So, normally by following a spacing of 10 x 10, we can accommodate around 40 plants in one acre of land. Then the cost of planting material may reach up to Rs.2000. It is better to procure some extra seedlings for further transplantation in case of seedlings fail to normal. So, better to keep extra 5 seedlings per acre land for these extra seedlings it will cost Rs. 250.
The manures and fertilizers cost
Proper fertilization always yields good returns. So, to fertilize the plants in the orchard to the required level it will cost Rs. 5000 per one acre of mango orchard.
The cost of plant protection measures
It the same way to get the desired output we have to control all the pests and diseases in an effective manner. So, for carrying out all these plant protection measure farmers need to incur another Rs. 4000 to purchase chemicals and to pay the labor wages etc.

It contains costs incurred from land preparation to harvesting in a one-acre Mango field. On the average total cost of cultivation involved in one acre, Mango cultivation in the first year of establishment is Rs. 1, 12, 250. Cost involved in the cultivation of one acre Mango may vary from the above-mentioned cost depending upon various factors like pest and disease incidence and weed incidence etc.
The total income from 1-acre Mango cultivation
In mango commercial yield starts from 4 – 5 years after planting so, here we are taking 5 th into the consideration to calculate profits. In the initial years, we can supplement the maintenance cost with returns obtained from intercrops. At Chandrapur fruit market, Maharashtra Mango was sold at an average price of Rs. 4, 000 per quintal dated on 31- 07- 2019. During the season also it can be sold at a minimum price of Rs. 3, 000 per quintal. So, for selling 5 tonnes the farmer will get
Rs. 50 x 3, 000 = 1, 50, 000.
The net profit from 1-acre Mango farming
The net income involved in 1 acre Mango cultivation is in 5 th year is:
The net income = gross returns – maintenance cost
Rs.1, 50, 000 – Rs. 31, 250 = Rs. 1, 18, 750
So, net profit in cultivation of one acre Mango field is Rs. 1, 18, 750.
The conclusion in 1 acre mango cultivation
So, after 5 -year farmer can get a lump sum amount which is near around above one lakh from one acre mango orchard with good maintenance.

I WANT TO GROW APPLE CUSTARD ALONG WITH TURMERIC AS ADDITIONAL CROP.PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHETHER IT IS POSSIBLE TO GROW BOTH THE APPLE CUSTARD AND TURMERIC TOGETHER.
Hello Jagdish,
Excellent article on mango cultivation cost and profit analysis. But here’s a quick question: your cost estimates seem too low from my experience. For instance, labour cost is @ Rs.350 for male and Rs.250 for female per day plus to and fro transport costs from their village to the farm. Similarly, wire mesh fencing cost is way above what you have estimated. your costing also does not factor in cost of money if the project is rolled out with bank financing.
In this scenario how does one fit the cost to benefit ratio for mango cultivation? Do you still think this can be a profitable venture, especially in retirement?
hello, sir! this is a good project that I interested to do in the future can you help me how develop my own project proposal?
