Interest on organic agriculture is growing gradually in Nepal and the development
interventions are concentrated more on technology generation and extension. But analysis
on its economic aspect is lacking far behind. In order to know the economic performance of
organic farming in general and that of organic rice production in particular, a survey
research was carried out in Chitwan in 2010. From the study, the average productivity of
organic rice production was found 3.15 Mt/ha which is consistent higher than national
average. Among the factor cost, labor cost was found to contribute highest in total cost of
production while poultry manure cost, human labor cost and oil cake cast were found to be
significant factors at (P value < 0.05) to contribute in total revenue. The B:C ratio of
organic rice production was found to be 1.15.
