The paper has provided insights on the performance of Kerala’s agricultural sector with emphasis on
demand and supply position of major crops. The study is based on secondary data collected from different
sources such as National Accounts Statistics, Farm Guide, Report on Cost of Cultivation of Important
Crops in Kerala, NSSO surveys, etc. largely for the period 2000-01 to 2009-10. The study has revealed
that Kerala has lost a considerable area under essential food crops like paddy, pulses, tapioca, vegetables,
etc. as well as under high-value crops like cashewnut, spices, tea, coffee, etc. The high returns obtained
from commercial crops and non-agriculture sector are being utilized for funding imports from other
states to meet the demand for food commodities. The projections for supply-demand balance of food
commodities undertaken in this study have reinforced that Kerala’s self-sufficiency in most food
commodities would touch worst levels. The study has advocated for a comprehensive agricultural
development strategy for the state.
