Abstract/Description: | In India, foodgrain production increased by nearly four times since Independence and is ahead of growth rate of population. Not only has the dependence on imports of farm products, especially of foodgrains declined, but also the exports have been increasing. India's capabilities for management of droughts and famines have also been creditable. The growth in agriculture has also contributed to the reduction in the incidence of rural poverty (Parthasarathy, 1994). However, India's average growth rate of 2.3 per cent per annum of gross domestic product (GDP) originating in agriculture over the two decades of green revolution (1968-1988) compares very modestly with the growth rates for green revolution crops (rice and wheat) in most other Asian countries over that period (Ahluwalia, 1991). International comparisons reveal a wide gulf in India's performance between achievements in output and productivity. While India compares favourably in terms of total output, it compares poorly in terms of yield per hectare.' Evidences show a plateau in crop yield levels, especially during the 1990s, even in well-endowed regions.' Such a slow down or stagnation in yield levels is attributed, among other things, to low efficiencies in the production process, non-availability of new technologies, and resource degradation associated with input intensification. |
