Comment briefly on agricultural productivity. |
|
Answer» Agricultural production and productivity depend upon the Agricultural Inputs. The main food grain of India is rice, and wheat is on the second place. Different tendencies were found in the productivity of various crops. Between 1950-51 and 2013-14, wheat production increased the most and it increased 15 times (from 64 lakh tons to 959 tons). In non-food grains, oilseed production recorded an approximate increase of almost 5 times, while in the same period, cotton production increased 12 times. For all the food grains, per hectare productivity increased from 552 kg per hectare in 1950-51 to 2101 kg per hectare in 2013-14 which was a result of the new agricultural policy adopted in the decade of 70s. |
