Investigating the Crop Diversification Practices and its Determinants: An Empirical Evidence from West Bengal Gurung Prasid, Sarkar Soumitra Department of Commerce, University of North Bengal, Siliguri, W.B.734013 Online Published on 02 September, 2024. Abstract Crop diversification is one of the fundamental techniques essential for the healthy transformation of developing economies like India. It is a procedure to shift the production from an existing crop to a new variety of crops or shift the production to other crops. The majority of the studies on crop diversification practices have presented mixed results on the factors that determine the farmers’ decision to diversify crops. In India, particularly in the state of West Bengal, the empirical findings that throw light upon crop diversification and its determinants are outdated. Through a quantitative research design, this study uses the primary data collected from 150 farmers and a binomial logit regression analysis was performed. The findings of the study suggest that the loans taken from money lenders and the farm experience have a significant impact on the farmers’ crop diversification practices. Top Keywords Logit regression, Crop diversification, Farmers, Farming experience, West Bengal. Top | |
