Abstract
- This study was conducted in the Daphar Irrigated Plantation of Punjab province during the year 2006, to investigate the profitability of this plantation. A questionnaire was prepared to collect the information from the officials of the Forest Department through interview. For economic analysis the techniques used were: Net Present Worth, Benefit-Cost Ratio, and Internal Rate of Return. Overall result showed that Daphar Irrigated Plantation was profitable (Benefit-Cost Ratio = 1.29). Reasons for low net financial benefits were attributed to high tree mortality, social/illicit tree felling and high initial costs. Adopting proper and improved techniques and managerial approaches profitability can be increased to a large extent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
