Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study investigated the spatial-temporal dynamics and decomposition of foodgrain production in two prominent Indian states, namely Haryana (northern region) and Tamil Nadu (southern region), to address the implications of regional disparities in agricultural development. Over 34 years (1986-87 to 2020-21), the analysis showed that Haryana exhibited a positive direction in the area under food grain production with a CAGR of 0.58 per cent, while Tamil Nadu experiences a declining trend with a negative CAGR (-1.03 per cent). Variability in production and productivity further differentiates the states, with Haryana demonstrating greater stability. Decomposition analysis highlighted the dominance of Haryana in food production dynamics. The findings contributed valuable insights into regional agricultural disparities, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to foster balanced agricultural development in India.
