Imbalances in Foodgrains Production in Central Uttar Pradesh, India: Causes, Effects and Possible Solutions
Journal Title: Caspian Journal of Applied Sciences Research - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 9
Abstract
India after adopting Green Revolution technology increased its food grain production and has acquired the status of sufficient in the category of basic foods. But Green Revolution can be considered responsible for favouring wheat and rice production alone leaving behind pulses, coarse cereals and small millets in terms of area and production. Present study mainly focuses on the unbalanced production of the food grains. It also provides clue to factors behind uneven agricultural growth and our work deals with pulses, coarse cereals and small millets which have been neglected by the Green Revolution. Hence, effort has been made to examine the effect of Green revolution on the cropping pattern in order to assess the production performance of pulses, coarse cereals so fine cereals and to suggest some remedial measures to cope up with the imbalances within the food grain basket in Central Uttar Pradesh. Our study concludes that the area, production and yield are continuously decreasing for pulses, coarse cereals and small millets during the study period.
