Abstract	Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) is a disease that affects the production of Arabica coffee. Its management isessential to improve the production, income and livelihood of household Arabica coffee farmers. Thispaper develops a simple methodology to calculate the economic costs, gross returns and net economicgains of CLR management by adopters of chemical controls at the national, state and district levels inIndia. Chemical controls are distinguished by application of recommended and non-recommendedcombinations and spray schedules of Bordeaux mixture and Systemic fungicides. The methodology isimplemented by using a newly collected sample survey data of 575 household Arabica coffee farmers inthe traditional coffee growing regions (Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala) and comprising more than 90per cent of small farmers. In general, empirical results offer evidence for higher gross returns and positivenet economic gains for all adopters of chemical controls with remarkable inter-state and inter-districtvariations. Though total cost shows remarkable variations between chemical controls and across regions,the composition of total cost shows higher chemical input cost than labour cost for all chemical controlsand in all regions. These results have implications for design of a public promotional policy of CLRmanagement by chemical controls for small farmers on empirical economic grounds. Subject to thecomparability of CLR by chemical controls, the methodology, empirical results and policy implicationsare applicable and relevant for other coffee growing and developing countries of Asia and Africa.
