N2  - An experiment was conducted at Chitedze Agricultural Research Station near Lilongwe, Malawi, during the 2000-01 crop season to estimate the production costs and profitability of groundnut at 3 different input levels (low, medium, and high). Production costs were K58?221 (US$894) in high input level, K40?181 (US$617) in medium input level, and K23?300 (US$359) in low input level. Net output in high, medium, and low input levels was 2.96, 1.92, and 1.16 t/ha-1, respectively. The net benefits in high, medium, and low input levels were K45?198 (US$695), K26?968 (US$415), and K17?389 (US$268) per ha-1, respectively.
