Abstract: Vegetables play an important role in both the regional and national economy of the agriculture sector. India continues to the second largest producer of vegetables in the world next to china. The present study of Sustainability of Vegetable Production in Akola District was carried out during the year 2017-2018. The primary data of 60 growers were collected from six tahsils for onion, brinjal and tomato growers. Collected data was using simple tabular analysis worked out by using standardized cost concept by CACP i.e cost-A1, A2, cost-B1, B2, cost-C1, C2 and benefit-cost ratio and sustainability value index (SVI). Per hectare cost of cultivation of onion, brinjal and tomato was ₹ 65612.35, ₹ 111635.17 and ₹ 128526.01, respectively. Per hectare profit in onion, brinjal and tomato cultivation was ₹ 111812.03, ₹ 201850.18 and. 221736.89, respectively. The benefit cost ratio of selected vegetable at cost 'C' was higher in brinjal i.e. 2.74, followed by tomato 2.73 and onion 2.70 respectively. per hectare yield of onion, brinjal and tomato was 211.85 q, 270.45 q and 281.76 quintals respectively, and farmer received rate per quintal was ` 837.50, ₹ 1174.13 and ₹ 1243.13. The sustainability value index of vegetable production is observed that most sustainable in brinjal i.e. 0.45 followed by tomato 0.44 and onion 0.32 respectively. Hence it is conclude that brinjal vegetable production is profitable and sustainable as compare to onion and tomato.
