Abstract
The agriculture sector has gone through different phases of growth, embracing a wide variety of institutional interventions, technology and policy regimes in India. It is important to assess whether the past, present and future trends of agricultural productivity are compatible with the growing demand of people. This paper analyzes the spatiotemporal differentiation and future trends of agricultural productivity in Hathras district, Uttar Pradesh. This study is based on secondary sources of data for the period 2000-01 and 2014-15. Yang’s Crop Yield Index (CYI), Standard Deviation (SD) and Data Projection techniques have been used in this work. The study reveals that the whole district has made reasonable enhancements in their agricultural productivity from 2000-01 to 2014-15 which are varied over space and time. The future trends of agricultural productivity for the year 2030-31 indicate that the study area has continuously boosted its productivity since 2000-01. It concludes that the problems which are needed to address are accessibility, invention, and equal delivery mechanism of government-sponsored schemes, programs, policies and projects like irrigation, capacity building programs, farmer sensitization issues and others.
