Abstract

                                For purposes of national policy programming agricultural development, it would perhaps be useful to understand the dynamic changes that are taking place in the cropping pattern of the country, thereby assessing the trends in production of different agricultural commodities. The problem of studying the dynamic behaviour of crop mix and therefore output mix for one country with its varying agro-climatic regions and a variety of crops being raised in different regions is complex and bristled with many difficulties such as lack of relevant region-wise data. The present study was therefore, confined to Tamil Nadu.
