Cost -Benefit Analysis
Net profit from plot 1 (medium farmer) is comparatively higher than plot 2 (marginal farmer). As the marginal farmer possesses less land and is
not capable to invest as much as the medium farmer, he obtains less production and thus less profit. However, net profit from plot 1 and 2 is
more than rice production in the same area.
