Abstract

Agriculture is the predominant sector in Odisha. It contributes a higher share to State GSDP and provides livelihood to a greater share of rural population. Hence a study on the growth of agricultural crops and contributing factors for output growth has much importance. Therefore, an attempt has been made to examine the trends in area, production and yield of foodgrainand also the non-foodgrain crops alongwith the decomposition of their growth into area and yield during both pre-reforms and postreforms period in Odisha. The compound annual growth rate of area, production and yields were computed by using log-linear model and decomposition of output growth of the crops was made by using decomposition analysis model. The performance of agricultural sector was slightly better during pre-reforms period than that of the postreformsperiod.Mostly in case of the foodgrain crops; the yield effect contributes more towards output growth. But, among the cash crops there is diversity in performance.The decomposition analysis has some policy implications. The area expansion in favour of cash crops which is possible through crop diversification needs attention of Government and policy formulations
