Analysis of spatio-temporal changes in agricultural productivity and productivity regions in Dhule district


Author(s): Sachin Ranu Govardhane and Wayal Navnath Laxman

Abstract: Agricultural yields and cropping systems vary from region to region in India or around the world. Physico-climatic, socio-economic and technological factors are the main controllers of agricultural productivity in any region of the world. Agricultural productivity is the ratio of agricultural output to agricultural inputs. Measurement and comparative analysis of agricultural productivity enables us to delineate sectors that are performing efficiently or less efficiently compared to other agricultural sectors. The objective of the present paper is to examine the variation in crop productivity and relative changes in agricultural productivity between 2011 and 2021 in Dhule district. Yang's 'Crop Productivity Index' is used to measure agricultural productivity. Crop productivity of 14 major crops (grouped under cereals, pulses, cash crops and oilseeds) grown in the tehsil of Dhule district between 2011 and 2021 has been considered. The next attempt is to identify the variation in crop productivity between different taluks of Dhule district and how productivity changed from one period to another. Paper tables and maps show the extent and nature of productivity variation in the region and call for addressing inter-tehsil disparities. Agricultural productivity has increased over a given period of time in the study area, but there is very little change in crop production rates over that period.
