Abstract

This paper studies the cropping pattern of Mizoram with respect to its food-grains cultivation; the intensity of cultivation, its popularity, dominance among other food-crops and its productivity or lack of it. A study is also made on the different factors that influence food-grain production in Mizoram. India is still very much dependent on agriculture and allied activities and serves the backbone of the economy. To be self-sufficient in food is an important step towards economic excellence. This paper also gives some suggestions on the enhancement of foodgrain productivity and the like.
