These three variables are: ‘A2’-Covers all paid-out costs directly incurred by the farmer in cash and kind on seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, hired labour, leased-in land, fuel, irrigation, etc. A2+FL that Includes A2 plus an imputed value of unpaid family labour and ‘C2’ which is a more comprehensive cost that factors in rentals and interest forgone on owned land and fixed capital assets, on top of A2+FL.
