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.
