Inputs and Resources for India’s Agriculture: Productivity, Growth and Efficiency

Key Points

Input productivity in Indian agriculture has stagnated, raising concerns for future growth and sustainability.
The study found significant inefficiencies in certain states, attributed to varying input and labor effectiveness.
Econometric modeling highlighted the importance of environmental factors and traditional inputs in agricultural productivity.
Spatial heterogeneities complicate the understanding of agricultural efficiency across different regions of India.

Abstract

Abstract After about half a century, Indian agriculture, a success case of the Green revolution, needs to be revisited for accessing its carry-overs and new issues. Empirical analysis of post-2000 data, characterized by side effect left by the revolution and the progress in other technologies, geography of climate and policy directions of contemporary urgency reveals poor growth of input productivity. Econometric modeling that recognizes spatial heterogeneities found lingering positive effects of traditional inputs including labor and environmental factors but differentials of efficiency growth raise concerns about certain states.
