This study presents an analysis of resource allocation in Indian agriculture. Production functions are fitted to pooled data. Average and marginal productivity differences are derived for a number of inputs in the production of different crops, across different regions, and over various farm sizes. The results, on the whole, do not lead to the rejection of the hypothesis that there are comparatively few inefficiencies in resource allocation in Indian agriculture.
