The data was collected from 110 respondents from Tehsil Shakargarh by using multi-stage random sampling technique. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to interpret the data. The study showed that neither Small-scale farmers in Tehsil Shakargarh are ready to take care of their full monetary expenses nor to create their income because of low cash costs.
