The present study was conducted to value addition in wheat crop and selected products were biscuit, buns and toast. Benefit cost ratios of these products were greater than one i.e. 2.09, 2.33 and 1.92, respectively. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the world most widely cultivated as a cash crop because it produces a good yield per unit area, grows well in a temperate climate even with a moderately short growing season. Wheat is a stable food and also an important of daily diet. There is an increasing trend in respect of area during the last decade. The cultivators earn a good profit from wheat production and there is also advantage of value addition in wheat and it gives good profit to processor and farmer also.

Abstract


The present study was conducted to value addition in wheat crop and selected products were biscuit, buns and toast. Benefit cost ratios of these products were greater than one i.e. 2.09, 2.33 and 1.92, respectively. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the world most widely cultivated as a cash crop because it produces a good yield per unit area, grows well in a temperate climate even with a moderately short growing season. Wheat is a stable food and also an important of daily diet. There is an increasing trend in respect of area during the last decade. The cultivators earn a good profit from wheat production and there is also advantage of value addition in wheat and it gives good profit to processor and farmer also.
