Overview

Empirical evidence reveals owner-operators are more efficient than tenant farmers, suggesting policy reforms are needed.

Key Points

  • Owner-operators show significantly higher agricultural efficiency than both fixed renters and sharecroppers.
  • Analysis of 144 farmers using Data Envelopment Analysis reveals clear distinctions in efficiency levels among tenancy systems.
  • Fixed renters outperform sharecroppers, highlighting the inefficiency of the latter due to disincentives for optimal inputs.
  • Enhancing tenure security and improving tenancy arrangements may boost agricultural productivity in Jammu and Kashmir.
