Abstract

This study quantifies the extent of technological change and factors responsible behind the production of pulses and oilseeds in eastern India over last decade (2009-10 to 2018-19). Output-oriented DEA-Malmquist techniques have been applied and has registered that the TFPCH is more or less stagnant and is dominated by the technical substitution of input use and not for efficiency changes. Step-wise regression has revealed that the technological change may be guided by the plant protection measures and adequate supply of inorganic fertilizer. Suitable policy and strategy measures have been suggested to enhance the productivity of pulses and oilseeds in Eastern India.
