Management of land and other resources vary with size of landholding. The present study was designed to shed the light on the role of farm size in vegetable production. The role of farm size was evaluated by estimating profitability of various vegetables on the basis of farm size. Results indicated that the vegetable growers with small possession of landholding were obtaining higher amount of returns as compared to those having large farm size. However, the small farmers growing bitter gourd got higher net returns per acre with respect to their counterparts growing tinda gourd and muskmelon. The production of vegetables could be boosted up by providing financial resources to the small growers of vegetables.
