Abstract

CONTRIBUTING TO THIS PRODUCTION INCREASE ARE: CHANGES IN CROPPING PATTERNS, LOCATIONAL SHIFTS IN THE AREAS UNDER CROP, AND PURE INCREASES IN YIELDS FROM DIFFERENT STATES (DUE TO THE USE OF FERTILIZER). THE PERCENTAGE OF THE PRODUCTION INCREASE ATTRIBUTED TO EACH OF THE ABOVE FACTORS IS INCLUDED. ANOTHER FACTOR, THE PLAY OF MARKET PRICES IN INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY VIA SPECIALIZATION, WAS FOUND WEAK UNLESS AIDED BY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY. ACCORDINGLY, TECHNOLOGICAL BREAK-THROUGHS IN THE NON-PRICE WORLDS ARE FAR MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN MARKET PRICES. TABLES, GRAPHS, AND FORMULAS EXPLAIN ALL ANALYSES.
