N2  - Poultry farming has emerged as one of the profitable and reliable industries. Poultry is an enterprise for feeding the world’s population, which is expanding quickly, as well as for supporting small farmers and landless people. The nation exported 320.24 thousand MT of chicken products to the world of total ₹529.81 crores during 2021-22. In North East Region (NER), Assam leads the egg production followed by Manipur and Meghalaya. Manipur is third among the NER in terms of chicken output, and fourth in terms of meat production. Manipur stands second in egg production in comparison with other NER. Imphal West valley district was selected from Manipur based on the highest poultry meat production accounting for 0.96 thousand tonnes. Therefore, under this backdrop, the following research objectives has been formulated: (1) To work out the costs and returns of poultry. (2) To study the disposal pattern of poultry products in Manipur. The study was carried out in Lamshang and Wangoi blocks of Imphal West districts in which a total of 104 samples were collected randomly from the villages which was selected purposively based on the highest number of poultry farmers. The samples were divided into category-I (broiler) and category-II (kuroiler). To achieve the abovementioned
objectives, analytical tools like standard techniques to work out the costs and returns, marketing cost, marketable surplus, etc., were calculated in which total variable cost for category-I was found higher compared to category-II with ₹372760.83 and ₹31941.93 per cycle respectively. On the other hand, the total fixed cost for category-I was found higher compared to category- II with ₹246006.89 and ₹8331.56 per cycle, respectively. The net return was found higher in category-I compared to category-II with ₹122850.77 and ₹15695.26 per cycle, respectively. From the study it was concluded that a quality locally available low-cost feed should be promoted to reduce the cost of poultry feed in order to enhance their income and also standardization of the different marketing cost to enhance the efficiency of the existing marketing channels in the market
