On the whole GDP growth towards agricultural sector was 6.9% at the national level. Since, several studies on Tamil Nadu concentrated on areas like cropping pattern related to productivity. Thus, the study attempts to reach the shifting pattern of cropping pattern and significant influence on Agricultural Productivity in Tamil Nadu. The study has taken up for five years from 2016-2017 and 2020--2021 and the select crops are restricted with principal crops only. The selected crops are Cotton, Sugarcane, Tea, Coffee and Coconut. Thus, the study concluded that the price of Tea, Sugarcane, Coffee and Cotton has a greater significant impact on Agricultural productivity.
