Comparative economic analysis of aggregate crop revenue in Jabalpur and Katni districts of Madhya Pradesh

This study decomposes the aggregate crop revenue of two districts of Madhya Pradesh i.e. Jabalpur and Katni, into the area, yield, price and cropping pattern effect by using Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI), for a period from 2007–08 to 2016–17. The results indicate that yield effect was the predominant factor in Katni district and price effect in Jabalpur. However, the cropping pattern effect had a relatively negligible contribution in both districts. The study suggests further improving and stabilizing the yield of the crops and implementation of policies focused on improving the cropping pattern in the districts.
