Description Research article
The study estimates total factor productivity (TFP) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) which
form the mainstay of food security in India. The study period is 25 years from 1991–92 to 2015–16, secondary data from
12 major rice and wheat producing states was collected from Directorate of Economics and Statistics (DES). Results
depict declining mean TFP for both rice and wheat in the period II (2002–2015) compared to period I (1991–2001) of
study. Major producing states have been facing stagnation in productivity and the results also confirm the proposition
that technical efficiency could not catch up with the technical progress in both wheat and rice cultivation. Hence, the
results confirm that the TFP change was associated more with technical change than with efficiency change in all the
states during both the study periods. Thus, the results conclude that the agricultural development strategy has to pay
increased attention towards the factors that could influence the efficiency as well along with the factors that result in
technical progress especially in case of rice and wheat which constitute the Indian food security basket.
