Abstract

One of the major objectives of economic growth and development is to achieve self-sufficiency in term of agriculture production due to growing demand of foodgrains and non-foodgrains crops. The study examines the trend and growth in major foodgrains production and impact of agricultural inputs on total foodgrains production using multiple regression model. The results reveal the sluggish and stagnant growth infoodgrains production and diminishing trend in area under cultivation and yield per hectare and concluded that Gross Sown Area, consumption of Fertilizers and consumption of electricity has a significant impact on total foodgrains production whereas area under irrigation and agriculture credit does not have a significant impact on total foodgrains production. Government should take new and improved policy initiative to revive the agriculture productivity and production and shifting agriculture labor to other sectors in the coming time period.
