Abstract: Rice is an annual plant in the Poaceae family. It can be produced across Nepal, from the plains to the mountains, and is the country’s main food crop. A study was conducted to look at the production, economics, and factors affecting the gross return of rice production in 2022 in the Kapilvastu area of Nepal, where a rice super zone was created under the Prime Minister Agriculture Modernization Project. (PM-AMP). A sample of 300 rice growers was selected using a straightforward random selection process. While secondary data was gathered by reading relevant literature, primary data was gathered through an interview technique that has been thoroughly tested. The results showed that smaller farmers’ costs to produce rice were higher per hectare (NRS. 180431) than those of larger farmers (NRS. 127289 per hectare) . Because the overall B: C ratio was larger than 1, the study finds that investing in rice farming was economically viable in the studied area (1.19). The discovery will aid farmers in considering the necessity to replace human and bullock labor with farm machinery. As a result, the cost of cultivation would decrease as rice farming’s productivity and financial returns increased.
