Considering the importance and major role of medicinal plants in the agricultural economy of the country, along with the diversity of climatic conditions and the suitable potential for producing various medicinal plants, this study, aims to provide an economic analysis of the cultivation and production of cumin, which is considered one of the important medicinal plants in Khorasan Razavi province, based on relevant indicators. To this end, economic indicators such as the cost of producing cumin per unit area, the break even point of production, profit margins, and rate of return have been calculated and analyzed through field studies and data and statistics published by relevant organizations. The results indicate that based on the information and statistics obtained from the average field data in the year 2023, the breakeven point for production is equal to 232.5 kilograms per hectare. In other words, the higher the production per unit area exceeds this amount, the profit for the cumin farmer will increase. The profit margin for green cumin producers is around 980,000 rials, and the maximum rate of return for cultivating and producing cumin is about 50%. Overall, the research results indicate that cumin is economically beneficial, and given this plant's lower water requirements compared to other common crops, promoting its cultivation is advisable in the current water crisis.
