The present paper analyses the variations in rice production among different categories of farmers through an economic study on paddy cultivation and its processing in the Aligarh district of western Uttar Pradesh. The investigation aimed to determine the input–output cost relationship in paddy cultivation. Data were collected from 60 farmers across three villages of Dhanipur block, focusing on farm structure, costs, returns, and cropping intensity. The findings revealed an average holding size of 1.27 hectares with a cropping intensity of 237.79 percent, where paddy occupied 37.74 percent of the gross cropped area. The overall net income was recorded as Rs. 97,643.04 for cost A, Rs. 67,738.27 for cost B, and Rs. 58,776.65 for cost C, with an expenditure of Rs. 2,05,365.11 per hectare. The cost of production per quintal was Rs. 845.95, showing a positive correlation with farm size. The total value of plant protection was Rs. 1,482.22, Rs. 2,792.35, and Rs. 2,798.30 for small, medium, and large farmers, respectively.
