Abstract: This study was aimed to estimate cost benefit analysis and water usage of different crops in district Chiniot during 2018. Primary data was collected on a questionnaire by interviewing the farmers from different tehsils of Chiniot. A sample size of 40 farmers was used for data collection. Rice, sugarcane, wheat, and maize are mainly grown in District Chiniot. Cost benefit techniques were used to check the benefits of different crops in this region. It is found that wheat and rice are more beneficial for farmers as they need less water and give the farmers more earnings than other crops. It is suggested that crops that are providing more benefits economically and environmentally should be encouraged to harvest.
