A dynamic Study of Breakeven Output, Yield and Land-equivalent for Major Crops of Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh, one of the largest states in the country, has been lagging in private investment in agriculture since the 2000s. To investigate the reasons for this decline, breakeven analysis coupled with trend analysis was carried out using plot-level secondary data from DES, India, for the period 2000-01 to 2016-17 for sorghum, cotton, maize, chickpea/gram, black gram, red gram, lentil, rapeseed and mustard, soybean, paddy and wheat crops. The results revealed that the cotton, soybean and black gram were unsuitable for farmers with inadequate means while lentil was the most stable crop. Rice-wheat and Cotton-gram cropping pattern was found to be risky. Red gram, gram, sorghum, paddy, mustard, soybean and black gram had a horizontal trend of break-even output. Wheat was the only crop with a negative trend of breakeven output. Important policy suggestions include the adoption of custom hiring of machinery and rigorous yield improvement programmes for paddy, sorghum and maize.

The study was conducted in Bungamayang District PT. Perkebunan Nusantara VII (Persero), Lampung Province. The objective of this study are: (1) to see the trend of production, productivity and input use of sugarcane and sugar production, (2) to know factors affecting production of sugarcane, (3) to identify factors affecting production of sugar, and (4) to estimate the profit of sugar and molasses. The method used was descriptive quantitative analysis. Sampling location was determined by purposively. The data used are secondary data during 30 years (1984-2013). Trend analysis, multiple linear regression (Cobb-Douglas function), and profit analysis we used in this study. The results of trend analysis show that the production of sugar, sugar productivity, and rendemen has a positive trend, while the number of labour has a negative trend. The result of regression analysis shows that increase in harvested area could increase the production of sugarcane. The result of regression analysis also shows that increase in harvested area, rendemen, and rainfalls could increase the production of sugar, post amalgamation Bungamayang District and PT. Perkebunan Nusantara VII (Persero) could give better sugar production, while the increase in the number of labour would decrease the production of sugar because the number of labour has reached the maximum level. From the results of the study show that the highest profit of sugar and molasses in Bungamayang District PT. Perkebunan Nusantara VII (Persero) is the Ratoon Cane I cropping pattern, followed by Ratoon Cane II, Ratoon Cane III, and the lowest profit obtained in Plant Cane.

AbstractMadhya Pradesh emerged as the state with the highest growth rate in agriculture. Long clubbed with the so-called BIMARU group of poor northern, central and eastern states, MP successfully broke ranks to set a scorching pace of growth, which has been unparalleled in the past quarter-century. Understanding the factors that helped to drive this growth and drawing lessons for other states at similar levels of development is the main objective of this chapter. Madhya Pradesh’s agricultural GDP increased at 8.1% per annum during 2005–06 to 2016–17, surpassing even record holder Gujarat’s 6% agricultural growth in the same period. The last three years have been even more spectacular: agricultural GDP increased at 11.8% per annum. Keeping this background in mind, this chapter has used secondary data published by the government to study the composition, sources and drivers of agriculture growth in Madhya Pradesh and the lessons that can be drawn for developing states. Although MP has recorded a significant decline in poverty rates from 53.6% in 2004–05 to 35.7% in 2011–12, there is still much to be done to improve the livelihood of the rural population. Moreover, MP’s per capita income is low, standing at Rs. 51,798 per annum (FY14 at current prices) as compared to the national annual average income of Rs. 74,380. Although it is much better than that of Bihar (Rs. 31,199) and Uttar Pradesh (Rs. 36,250), it remains way below top-performing states like Sikkim (Rs. 176,491), Maharashtra (Rs. 114,392), Haryana (Rs. 133,427) and Gujarat (Rs. 106,831). Therefore, the study also makes policy suggestions to bolster agricultural growth in MP.


As per Economic Survey of Punjab, (2019-20), Punjab alone contributed more than 1/4 and 1/3 of the central pool of rice and th rd wheat respectively in 2018-19 and accordingly named as bread-basket of India. However, such a huge contribution was due to the structural transformation of agriculture in Punjab under the Green Revolution. Such transformation leads to intensive use of natural resources with mono-culture of wheat-paddy till today, which put a big question mark on the sustainability issue of agriculture in Punjab. The present study was exclusively based on secondary data, covering the period of 1965-66 to 2018-2019, almost 55 years. Hirschman Herfindhal index and Simpson Diversity index were used to determine the extent of concentration and diversification in the cropping pattern of Punjab agriculture. The results highlight the facts that level of diversification was declining and the level of concentration was increasing. Moreover, Compound Growth Rate (CGR) of yield was either stagnating or declining over the years. Not only this, based on the index of agriculture production, the trend values were negative since the 21 century. Accordingly, st intensive agricultural practices should be stopped, and diversification should get priority in such a way that food security is not jeopardized.

The Plantation Network has a land area of ​​375 ha. Population which is directly proportional to the necessities of life, one of which is in the food sector, has made the government take the initiative to meet the needs and welfare of the community with productive agricultural land and fields. The data includes secondary data on 10-year rainfall from Depati Parbo and Kayu Aro Station and 10-year climatology from Kayu Aro Climatology Station. The calculation method used is the rainfall intensity Average method, Evapotranspiration modification Penman method, Debit danalan DR.FJ Mock method, cropping patterns, and irrigation water needs. Related to the calculation of 6 alternative cropping patterns with different types of plants and different initial planting plans by making comparisons with the existing discharge factor (Q80). Obtained that the cropping pattern is very possible, namely using the cropping pattern PADI-PADI-PALAWIJA. The most efficient and optimal planting pattern is that this cropping system consists of PADI-PADI-ON with large water demand in tertiary plots (NFR tertiary plots) producing 0 - 1,308 ltr / sec/ha with a maximum of 1,308 ltr / ha / February II, while the need for irrigation water in the intake (DR intake) ranges from 0 - 1,615 ltr sec/ha with a maximum of 1,615 ltr / sec/ha in February II. The available debit and debit in the Irrigation Network Planning Mark is very abundant with the mainstay discharge (Q80) for irrigation, the maximum available debit (Q80) can occur in November with 202,207 ltr / sec/ha and the minimum in August with 115,012 ltr / sec / Ha. Based on the results of the discharge and water above, it can be determined about the ratio of water/air equilibrium between discharge and water Q80 and the need for irrigation water requires a large/adequate surplus.

The present study was undertaken with the objective to compare the minimum support price (MSP) with total Cost (C2) of wheat and also actual yield with break-even yield in major wheat producing states of India. The secondary data were collected from Directorate of Economics and Statistics for the period 2000-01 to 2016-17. The area of study comprises those states which covered >80 per cent of wheat production in India (i.e., Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan and Haryana). The result of study showed that the difference between MSP and cost C2 per quintal was found to be positive but fluctuating over the study period (except in the year 2002-03 and 2005-06 in Madhya Pradesh and 2005-06 and 2014-15 in Uttar Pradesh). It can be concluded that wheat growers of the states benefitted more from MSP by cultivation of wheat. The margin of safety was also fluctuating over the period of time in all the five wheat-producing states but gap continuously widening in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan revealed that the profitability from wheat was increasing in these states.
