Study investigated the comparative economics of cost and returns of organic tomato production with inorganic tomato production in Kolar district of Karnataka. Findings revealed that cost of production of inorganic tomato was higher than organic tomato production. The gross return of organic tomato production was higher compared to inorganic tomato production. The return structure in tomato clearly revealed that the gross returns per ha was higher (Rs. 311345.28) on organic farms compared to that of inorganic farms (Rs. 296887.50) with a positive net return on both the categories of the farms. The net return on organic farm was Rs. 211588.78 and was Rs. 189426.64 on inorganic farms.
