The present study aimed to determine the costs and returns of cultivating cluster bean in Southern Haryana during 2020-21 farming season. The study was based on primary data. A total of 80 farmers were interviewed from the purposively selected districts of Bhiwani and Mahendargarh. The findings revealed that the per hectare cost of cluster bean cultivation ₹40,241 and ₹44,553 in Bhiwani and Mahendargarh districts, respectively. On average, the per hectare yield, gross returns, and net returns from cluster bean cultivation in Bhiwani district were 10.82 quintals, ₹49,002, and ₹8,758, respectively. While that of Mahendargarh district were 11.02 quintals, ₹52,732, and ₹8,178, respectively. The benefit-cost (B:C) ratio and B:C ratio over variable cost were 1.21 and 2.34 for Bhiwani, while it was 1.18 and 2.32 for Mahendargarh district. The slightly lower B:C ratio in Mahendargarh district was primarily due to the higher cost of labor.
