Abstract

The present paper examines statewise (i) growth rates and fluctuations in terms of total agricultural production in India during 1970-1971 to 2000-2001; (ii) relationship between growth and fluctuation; (iii) decomposition of output growth into area growth and productivity growth; and (iv) factors influencing output growth and fluctuation during the post green revolution period. The broad findings of this study include: (i) a tendency towards deceleration in the growth of total agricultural production in India in recent years; (ii) tolerable impact of green revolution on crop-output fluctuation; (iii) absence of definite pattern with regard to the association between growth and fluctuation, and; (iv) the major driving force behind the output growth and fluctuation being productivity hence technological improvement.
