Economic efficiency of crop production in hadoti region of Rajasthan

Primary data obtained from 112 farmers dispersed over four blocks in the Hadoti region (Kota, Bundi, Baran, and Jhalawar districts) of Rajasthan were used to calculate the resource-use efficiency and marginal value product of mainly growing crops like wheat, soybean, gram, and urad production. To estimate the resource use efficiency and MVP a Cobb-Douglas production function was used. The yield of soybean was positively influenced by the use of more inputs like irrigation and human labour, gram by seed and irrigation, wheat by only machine labour, and urad by machine labour and seed, according to the study. Resource use efficiency of irrigation in soybean was found almost one, indicating that these resources are being used efficiently with full potential and that increasing their use could increase the yield of soybean. The under utilised resources need to be used more to boost the productivity of that crop in which it was used. The study will be helpful for policymakers related to resources used in the production process.
