The cost of ingredients only was taken to indicate the cost of honey burfi production. Increase in the level of honey was observed to increase the cost of honey burfi production. The cost of honey burfi production under T0, T1, T2 and T3 was Rs. 107.88, Rs. 114.64, Rs. 122.82 and Rs. 131.16 per kg burfi, respectively.
