Agricultural diversification towards high-value crops can
potenti al ly i ncrease farm i ncomes, especi al ly i n
regionswhere demand for high-value food products has
been increasing more quickly than that for staple crops.
Farming community of Uttar Pradesh is dominated by small
and marginal farmers, and researchers have long debated
the ability of a small and marginal holder dominated
subsistence farm economy to diversify into riskier high
value crops. Agriculture diversification recommended as
effective strategy for improving incomes, generating
employment round a year, stabilizing the flow of income
over the season and conservation and augmentation of
natural resources. The aim of study was to understand the
nature of crop diversification and the contribution of area,
yield, price and diversification in gross crop income or
agricultural growth in Uttar Pradesh. The results showed
that the variations in crop diversification was found across
crops as well as regions of state and crop sector has been
diversifying towards high-value crops albeit slowly. The
temporal changes in the cropping pattern in both Eastern
and Bundelkhand regions bring out the process of crop
diversification towards cash crops (sugarcane, potato,
onion and tobacco). The decomposition analysis of gross
cropped income revealed that the price effect on gross
income was found stronger than yield effect in both the
regions of the state.
