Description The present study entitled "PROJECTIONS OF
AREA, PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OF IMPORTANT CROPS OF
A.P. AND INDIA BY 2000 AD; AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS"
has been under taken to measure the growth rates of the /
seleted important crops, and to estimate the future
projections upto 2000 AD, with a view to provide
certain guidelines for policy formulation and
appropriate advice which would bring balanced
agricultural development.
The study was carried out in Andhra Pradesh in
comparison with the country as a whole.
Attempts have been made to assess the trends
in area, production and productivity of selected
important crops besides projecting the area, production
and productivity of these selected crops upto 2000 AD.
The projections of area, production and productivity of
the selected crops were calculated based upon the
residual mean square method. Four functions were
attempted to project the area, production and
productivity of the selected crops. They are linear,
exponential, quadratic and logistic functions.
The reference period of the
1956-57 to 1984-85 and the growth
studied dividing the whole period
periods viz.,
study .was
parameters
into three
from
were
sub-
1. Pre-green revolution period 1956-57 to 1965-66
2. Green revolution period 1965-66 to 1975-76
' 3. Post-green revolution period: 1975-76 to 1984-85
Growth parameters were also estimated taking
the Overall period i.e., 1956-57 to 1984-85~
Analysis of foodgrain production showed that
the green revolution has brought about considerable
increase in production in the state as well as in the
country. The increase in foodgrains produc~ion was
mainly attributed to rice which attained added importance
after the release of high yielding varieties.
Increase in productivity was major source of
growth for cereal production particularly of rice and
maize crops. Considerable instability of agricultural
production was observed in the state and was
aggravated since the introduction of new ยท technology
in mid sixties. The intensity of instability varied
from crop to crop. The instability of production was
mainly attributed to variability in productivity.
The findings of the study indicated that there
was three fold increase in the total foodgrains production
from 1956-57 to 1984-85. The area, production
and productivity of total foodgrain crops by the turn
of this century wil!1be 83 million hectares, 19 million
tonnes, 2041 kg ~a . in Andhra Pradesh and 131 m!llion
hectares, 221 millon tonnes and 1383 kg ha in
India, respectively.
