Abstract

This chapter examines the trends and critical turning points in food grains production in 15 major states in India during 1960/1961–2009/2010. While the growth rate of food grains production decelerated significantly in most states, interstate variations in the growth rate increased remarkably during the post-reform period compared with the pre-reform one. The results show that while the level and growth rate of food grains production in India increased in 1967–1968, the growth rate decelerated after an upward shift in the level in 1988–1989. The nature and timing of structural breaks varied across states, and the slowdown of growth in food grains production in many states took place since the late 1980s.
