Abstract and Figures
The paper examines the trend in the performance of rainfed agriculture in India across major crops during pre-and post-liberalisation period; and ascertains the trend in net income of crop groups of different water requirements in rainfed regions. The major crop groups considered in the analysis are coarse cereals, oilseeds, pulses and cotton. The results indicate that the growth in production of oilseeds and pulses during 1980s and early 1990s weaned out during the subsequent period, probably due to the dilution of some of the policy initiatives like mission mode operation for these crops and adverse terms of trade. However, the yield of most of the crops has increased during the post-liberalisation period.
