The present study discusses factors responsible for agricultural diversification at different levels: country (India), state (Haryana) and farms of Kurukshetra district in Haryana. The study regressed alternate measures of diversification namely, the Simpson index and concentration of non-food crops, on several possible factors such as income, land distribution, irrigation intensity, institutional credit, road density, urbanization and market penetration. The regression analysis suggests that increased road density, urbanization encourages commercialization of agriculture and with commercialization, farms in a region are increasingly specialized under certain crops and crop-groups as per the resource, infrastructure and institutions of the region.

Considering the importance of agriculture for overall economic development, the present paper evaluates performance and progress of Indian Agriculture since Independence. In addition, the paper also analyzes sources of agricultural growth, Instability in Indian Agriculture and determinants of agricultural production. We use the decomposition test to analyze sources of agricultural growth and the production function approach to analyze determinants of agricultural production over the period 1950/51 through 2005/06 while use Cuddy-De-Vella Index for examine instability in Indian agriculture. The study indicates that there is scope to increase both net sown area and gross sown area. The decomposition analysis indicates that …

Considering the importance of agricultural productivity growth for raising the standard of living, the paper analyzed the impact of some production variables (input) on agricultural productivity growth (output) in India from 1969-70 to 2005-06. We selected time series data for aggregate analysis with the use of Cobb-Douglas production function. The estimation results showed that all key parameters are significant and are of the expected sign. Labour, capital and land have positive impact on agricultural productivity growth.

Total Factor Productivity Growth In Indian Agriculture, Amarnath Tripathi

amarnath tripathi

Sustaining productivity growth in agriculture continues to be critical for achieving food security, poverty reduction, and broad-based economic growth. The present study examined the performance of agricultural productivity in India during the last 37 years. The estimation showed that between 1969 and 2005, agricultural growth relied almost entirely on increased in conventional factors while growth in productivity was negative. For only initial periods of reforms, agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) growth is positive. Further, the study suggested that the relative decline in public investments in the agricultural sector is one of the prominent causes of slowdown of agricultural productivity growth.
