ABSTRACT
Fast growing urban population need to be rapid production of vegetables on rooftop farming. Urban agriculture
is meeting to daily needs for urban people. Vegetable cultivation technique on rooftop is the passion of urbanize.
Vegetable cultivation is closely related with rooftop farming. Almost all variety of vegetables plants are grown
on the rooftop farming in seasonal basis. Proper planning and management give more profited .it is more essential
for the urban people because the organic vegetable grown in the Rooftop farming by utilization of compost
vermin-compost coco peats and organic fertilizers. The method of study carried out by experimental as well as
survey methods. I chosen site of study is Bhubaneswar because of large numbers of farmer cultivate vegetables
on rooftop in India. Study of cost-benefit ratio analysis of rooftop farming is essential for the vegetable
cultivation. The objectives of study entitled analysis economical benefits of vegetables cultivation on rooftop
farming. These benefits are saves to expenses of urban people. It has profit making self managing cultivation of
vegetable on rooftop needful for urban people. They obtain fresh organic vegetables on their own rooftop in
marginal expenses. The percentage of profit is enhancing the perception of rooftop farming among urban people.
Keywords: Rooftop Farming, Vegetable Cultivation, Cost-benefit Ratio, Percentage of Profit, Economic Value.
INTRODUCTION
Vegetable cultivation on rooftop farming increases as per the market demand of vegetables and high cost urban
land. Fruits and vegetables intake among urban community gardeners has essential and demands. Astee, L. and
Kishnani, N. (2010). Vegetables are easily cultivated on rooftop farms because of different opportunity and
benefits technique of vegetables cultivation involved water management, Alaima, K, et al., (2008) Bio-waste
management and environmental benefits and controlled.
Other benefits are associated with the rooftop farming. It is effective of cost benefit ratio. Benefits are more than
cost. Boardman, A. E., et al.,(2020). Almost all vegetables are cultivated on rooftop farming such as Materials
and methods.
The material required for the vegetable on rooftop farms were basically suitable well roof conditioned
cultivation, Buhler, D. et al.,(2016), global trend and global status of commercial urban rooftop farming proper
irrigation facility, Grow Bags, soil, Manure, investment for cultivation, instrument, containers, seeds and
seedling and labour. The methods of cultivation are same as land field cultivation but here grow bags and
container garden are used .Due to the water scarcity less amount of water is need for container garden and reduce
expenses.
The observation carried out on the spots and gather the data of expenses/investment for 10 species and pots
(Table -1) cost etc estimate the different material that are used for cultivation from the rooftop farms. Give
sampling methods and gather the data. Calculate and analyzed the data and put the value of benefits cost, ratio
of different aspect % of profits, Tamboli, M. A., et al., (2025). It is proof that calculation of vegetable is highly
profit making crop being cultivated at rooftop farm.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study is carried out by survey of primary raw data from rooftop farmers of the Bhubaneswar city of India.
Data are collected and record by semi-structured survey and semi-experimental methods through farmer’s
gardens. Further questioner methods used to from the rooftop farms.
Formulate the statistical data analysis of cost benefit ratio. The data collect during a complete cultivation of a
specific species of the plant. Technique of cultivation has been followed the methods of study.
RESULTS
Data had collected and documented by dominant respondent’s opinion has been completed the vegetable crops
and compare to market value with RTF in Tabulated and figures format. Here calculation of expenses of selected
common vegetable in terms of market value. Income and the Cost-profit, Cost-Benefit and percentage (%) of
profit has calculated. The tables present data on various vegetables grown on rooftop farming along with their
corresponding costs, benefits, and cost-benefit ratios. Each row represents a different plant species. The "Sum
of Cost" column indicates the total expenses incurred for cultivating and production of each vegetable plant,
while the "Sum of Benefit" column shows the total returns or benefits obtained from cultivating them.
The "Sum of Cost-Benefit Ratio" column calculates the ratio of benefits to costs, indicating the efficiency of
each cultivation effort. Higher ratios suggest more profitable crops relative to their cultivation costs.

Fig. 3. 10 Cost-benefit ratio and cost profit ratio vegetable cultivation on RTF.
Fig. 3. 11 Comparison of profit and % of profit for vegetable cultivation on RTF.
DISCUSSION
Calculated the expenses of vegetable cultivation for 10 plants and pots grown had tabulated sampling of 11 type
of vegetable4 plants grown in RTF express in the table -1,These were denoted vegetable plants (VP) and
numerical form up to 11 common plants VP1,VP2,VP3...VP11 and explained the sources of expenses cost for
Grow bag, soil, compost, bio-fertilizer, water supply, seed, seedling, propagules, planted materials labour cost
has essential for the RTF (Table 3.1).The study discussion of the cost, profit, cost-profit ratio and the percentage
of profit from the growing vegetable of the RTF. According to data VP2 (Cucurbita maxima) having high profit
rate rupees 2500 of cost700 and the benefit 3200 per 10 plants. However VP11 (Raphanus sativous) highest
profit rupees 524 in the sense of cost 526 and the benefit 1050. (Table 3.2) express the data of cost of cultivation

of 11 essential vegetables studied. Fig 3.1 presents costing of the vegetable cultivation which are the benefit of
the pants, the benefit of the vegetable showing in (Fig 3.2) which have VP2 rupees 3200 and VP9 rupees
30highest among them. Further Profit and benefit recorded respectively (Table 3.3 &3.4).The study of cost–
benefit ratio of cultivated plants VP2-4.57,VP9-375,VP6-2.82 and VP8-2.63.Next to the (Fig 3.7) presented
Cost–profit ratio of vegetable VP2-3.57,VP9-2.76 and VP6-1.82.respectivly.The calculation of % of profit has
been reported in terms of Percentage of cost by the Profit (Fig 3.8) highly profited vegetables has
VP2,VP9,VP11,VP6.(Fig-3.9) explore the data of cost-benefit and the profit given by vegetable plants gown on
RTF. Comparison of Cost-Benefit ratio and Cost-Profit ratio of growing vegetables has 4.57 and 3.57 VP2,
respectively. 3.76 and2.75 VP9 (Fig 3.10).Profit and Percentage of profit of different vegetable plants has
different. Finally highly profitable vegetable growing by most of the city farmers on rooftop farming..
CONCLUSSION
Various type of Vegetables cultivated on the RTF on the basis of profit making such as VP2, VP9, VP6 etc.
The profit depends upon the production, market value and demand. The vegetables demand increase by the
consumer choice and organic vegetable because of present of high nutritive value. Different season has different
demand and the price id altered accordingly. Best choice of vegetable cultivation as per the demand and price.
So the choice have vegetables plants are important for RTF. High profit vegetable cultivation has played an
crucial rule for perception and economic growth of urban farmers. For that has cultivation of vegetable on RTF.
The cost–benefit ratio analysis of rooftop farming vegetables cultivated plants need to choice of plants being
cultivated on rooftop farming.
