AGRARIAN PRODUCTION RELATIONS (A Micro Study based on Cost of Cultivation Data)
Journal Title: International Journal of Marketing and Technology - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to study the production relations on farms of different sizes. It is normally assumed that favorable production relations in crop production, if provided will definitely increase the value of output. To mention, the production factors - land use, labor use, and other intermediary/material inputs, such as, improved seeds, fertilizers, machinery, implements, water supply, etc, associated with new technology operate in combination across different farm size groups (the principal productive unit) in increasing the productivity. In the economic literature, there are differences of opinion on the nature of the use of production factors across farm size groups and it is quite debated and empirically examined by many scholars. It is very often found, that smaller farm size groups are more efficient and also the levels of utilization of production factor inputs are higher in these farms in comparison to larger farm size groups [Sen (1962); Bharadwaj (1974); Reddy (1993); Sharma and Sharma (2000); etc]. On the other hand, some scholars raised doubts on the survival of above statement in the post green revolution period. With the advent of new technology no such differences are observed in the production relations [Ghose (1979); Hanumantha Rao (1975); Bardhan (1973); Chadha (1978); and others]. To mention at the outset, over a period of time many institutional, technological and policy changes have taken place and these factors might have influenced the correlation of farm size with productive units and facilities.
