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.

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.
