A productivity and profitability study of a meat breed of rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), Hyline Californian under farmers management in five village development committees had shown this enterprise to be economically profitable with an overall rate of return of 135 percent. Mortality due to disease was found to be major factor responsible for reducing the profitability. The acceptance of the enterprise by the farmers was indicated by an increase in the total number of animals kept and a high proportion of the meat consumed at home. A recommendation to study different aspects of investment evaluation in dynamic market situation is made.
