A study was conducted to analyse the production, marketing and Benefit Cost ratio of carrot in Madhyapur Thimi municipality, Bhaktapur district, Nepal from February to April 2021. A total of 60 respondents were selected randomly for the study. Facts were accumulated via head to head interview method using a semiestablished questionnaire. Socio-demographic study showed that 58% males and 42% females were involved in carrot farming. Almost 80% carrot produced by the farmers in this area was found to be collected in the nearest collection center. In the study area, all the respondents were found cultivating F1 hybrid variety ‘Nepa Dream’. The cost of production of the carrot in the main season was Rs.29997 per ropani (0.05 ha). The average yield of carrot was 2057 kg per ropani. Gross income from the carrot production was Rs.99137 per ropani. The net profit was Rs.69139 per ropani and the average Benefit- Cost Ratio was 3.36. Unavailability of inputs in required quantity and time and lack of labor were major problems followed by lack of technical skills, proper marketing channel and postharvest loss.
