“…Therefore, efforts should be made to improve literacy rates, marketing facilities, and the transformation of low-input agriculture to high-inputhigh-value agriculture, all of which can aid in the reduction of regional differences. Some researchers looked at the growth and instability of principal crops as well as their sensitivity to climatic factors during different stages of technological development in the state of Odisha (Senapati and Goyari, 2019).…”

The present study analyses the productivity growth performance of major crop categories grown across the state of Odisha from 1970-71 to 2019-20. For analysing growth performance and comparing yield of important crops in Odisha, the research applies statistical methods such as annual growth rate (AGR), compound annual growth rate (CAGR), and ordinary least square method (OLS) of regression. On the other hand, the coefficient of variation (CV) and the instability index (Cuddy & Valle, 1978) have been used to investigate the state’s crop productivity instability. The study reveals the fact that the selected categories of crops which include cereals, oilseeds, pulses, food grains, fibres and small millets have not been experienced with steady annual growth rate from 1970-71 to 2019-20 rather they have been featured with high volatility. Moreover, the high degree of instability is evident in productivity of specified crop categories in Odisha. To boost agricultural production rates, it is vital to emphasise agricultural research and development and ensure that research discoveries are easily accessible to farmers, particularly small and marginal farmers.

“…It contributes about 22 percent to the state's gross domestic product and engages 62 percent of the workforce. The farm sector is plagued by low labour productivity, sluggish growth and high instability, rendering agriculture-based livelihoods unsustainable (Paltasingh, Goyari, 2013;Senapati, Goyari, 2019). Notably, landholdings in the state are small -approximately three-fourths of the total 4.87 million landholdings are of a size less than or equal to one hectare (OAS, 2018(OAS, -2019.…”

This paper examines the role of crop diversification in agricultural transition towards high-value crops as well as farm income growth in Odisha, Eastern India. The empirical analysis reveals some crucial facts: first, a stagnant and relatively low level of crop diversification in Odisha agriculture. Second, there is an insignificant agricultural transition due to the negative area substitution effect for most of the crops, along with a weak expansion effect over the last two decades from 1995-2018. Third, a declining contribution of productivity growth coupled with an insignificant contribution of crop diversification to the farm income growth over the years. Hence, we conclude no or an insignificant agricultural transition from traditional to high-value modern agriculture in Eastern India, causing unsustainable farm income growth. This calls for an urgent need to promote a mixed cropping pattern and colossal investment to encourage the farmers to transition towards high-value crops, stimulating farm income growth. Furthermore, massive efforts are required to make farmers aware of the advantages of diversification.

“…The studies conducted during post reform period reveals that instability in agriculture has been increasing with concomitant negative effects on farmers' vulnerability [9][10][11]. While exploring the possible reasons of agricultural instability in post reform period, it is observed that studies have identified factors like lack of irrigation facilities, lack of rural infrastructure and climatic factors are the leading determinants of instability in agriculture [9,12,13]. But still there is a need to study agricultural instability at the spatial and disaggregated level to draw more relevant policy implications.…”

This study focused on exploring the weather variability induced instability in agriculture in the Odisha, India. In this study, growth and instability in ten major crops are analysed, followed by a depiction of weather variability in Odisha and then the association between weather variability and instability in selected crops are analysed using regression analysis. It is observed that weather variability is a major concern in the state of Odisha. In the context of agrarian economy of Odisha, the dimensions, magnitude and erratic nature of the weather variability and extreme weather events have made the situation more complex. Wide variations are observed in the rainfall both across time and space in the state. The long term average rainfall is indicating a declining trend. The weather variability has produced profound negative effects on agricultural production and yields in the state, causing agricultural fluctuations and has been a serious threat to the agrarian economy. Empirical findings lend credence to the negative effects of weather variability on agricultural yield and the regression analyses of yield instability on weather variability have only reaffirmed the same. The negative effects of weather variability on crop yield leads to a clear policy implication of proper provisioning of irrigation and weather variability resistance crop for increasing the crop yields and reduce the crop yield instability.
