Avadh University, Faizabad, India Online published on 6 August, 2014. Abstract Agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy. At present more than 65 percent people live in rural areas and their main occupation is agriculture. This sector provides income and employment to the rural population. Crop diversification can play an important role in the development of Indian agriculture. The present study focuses on two main issues viz. changing cropping pattern and the farmers change in preference towards high-value cash crops. The findings of the study suggest that cropping pattern in Indian agriculture in terms of acreage has been skewed towards food grain crops. The production towards high-value crops has demonstrated an increasing trend. Top Keywords Crop diversification, Cropping pattern, Agricultural growth, High-value crops. Top | |
