Note:
- Economics of cultivation are taken from available literature of NABARD, CSIR, ICAR, ICFRE, Forest Deptt., NHB and other reliable sources.
- Economics of species have been worked out on the basis of input in the form of elite quality planting material.
- These cost do not include expenditure towards manpower, infrastructure development and cost of land.
