“…Detailed reviews of these demand systems are given in Barten (1977), Johnson et al (1984), Deaton (1986), andBewley (1986). Also, a number of comparative studies of demand systems have been carried out to evaluate the appropriateness of these models (Parks, 1969;Yoshihara, 1969;Gamaletsos, 1970, 1973;Deaton, 1974;Theil, 1975Theil, , 1976Lybeck, 1976;Pollack and Wales, 1978;Klevmarken, 1979;and Hansen and Sienknecht, 1989). …”

The situation in India is typical. India is one of the developing countries which adopted early the HYV technology in rice and wheat developed at the international agricultural research centers in the late sixties and early seventies with an objective of increasing food-grain production. This, along with required infrastructure for input supply and institutions for agricultural research and extension, has resulted in a situation where India is no more at the mercy of foreign food aid.' Food grain production in India has increased from 82.02 million tons in 1960-61 to 150.47 million tons in 1987-88, with a record level of 152.37 million tons in -84 (World Bank, 1988.
