All rights reserved Diversification and Specialisation of Punjab in Growing Various Crops: A District Level Approach Manpreet Kaur1* and Pavneet Kaur2 1Centre for Economic Studies, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda, India 2Department of Economics, Akal University, Talwandi Sabo, Bathinda, India *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The paper examines the nature and extent of crop diversification, crop specialization and inter-district diversity in cropping pattern in the most advanced agricultural state Punjab during the period of 2000-01 to 2014-15. The study has used the index of crop diversification, location quotient, crop versatility and district versatility index for analysis. The study has revealed that both wheat and rice crop is grown by all the districts, so none of the district was found to be very highly specialised or very less specialised than state. However, for cotton and maize, four districts acquired specialization. The district versatility results shows that Hoshiarpur is the more versatile district and Patiala is less versatile district in 2014-15. The insights from the paper suggests that the government should enhance region-specific diversification on the basis of district specialization along with infrastructure and assured marketing of new crops through contract farming and supermarkets procurement. Keywords: Cropping pattern, crop diversification, crop specialisation, crop versatility index, district versatility index In Punjab, although the share of agricultural and to farm sector etc. Therefore, producing these allied sector is declining in Gross State Domestic traditional cereals is no longer viable for Punjab Product (GSDP) but still this sector absorbs a particularly, for combating these environmental and significant share of employment. Punjab, the financial issues. As a result, there is dare need to grain bowl of India, has always remained ahead in focus on the cropping pattern of Punjab. The present achieving the target of food security since the advent cropping pattern of Punjab needs to be shifted from of green revolution as despite having only 1.5 per traditional food-grains towards high value crops to cent of the geographical area; as it contributes minimizes the adverse effects of the current system around 42 per cent of wheat and 24 per cent of rice of crop specialization and monoculture for better to the central pool (GoP, 2015). Consequently, area resource use, reduction of risks and uncertainty under wheat and rice has increased significantly. and better soil conditions (Shergill, 2005; Acharya Above 80 per cent of the Gross Cropped Area et al. 2011). Also, the demand for high value (GCA) was under wheat and rice during 2014-15 commodities such as fruits and vegetables is rising (GoP, 2015). As a result, this has created the severe at a rapid rate and that of traditional food-grains unbalanced situation for the cropping pattern of such as rice, wheat etc. has declined considerably Punjab. The monoculture of wheat-rice crop rotation whereas in Punjab, the area under these crops is has originated some serious ecological as well as rising by every year and that of high value crops economic problems such as ground water depletion, is very less. Hence, reshaping the cropping pattern decline in soil fertility, rise in water pollution due to of Punjab may solve the agrarian crisis of Punjab over usage of chemicals, soil erosion, rising burden as the cropping pattern of any region or state on state exchequer to provide free power supply plays a major role in determining the situation of Kaur and Kaur agricultural sector of any state or region in terms Where, X crops are those crops which individually of realizing higher output growth, higher farm cover 10 per cent or more than 10 per cent of income, employment generation, sustainability of the cropped area or gross cropped area in each natural resources and poverty alleviation (Kumar district. The index value calculated by this and Gupta, 2015). Besides, nature has also gifted formula is inversely related to magnitude of crop Punjab with suitable agro-climatic conditions to diversification. It indicates that lower the index grow various food as well as non-food crops. It value higher is themagnitude of crop diversification is therefore, the present study based on district and vice versa. If the index value is less than 20, level analysis will be beneficial for policy makers it shows very high diversification, 20.1 to 25.4 to formulate specific policies by understanding shows high diversification, 25.5 to 40.5 shows little cropping pattern for the coming years. The specific diversification and greater than 40 indicates very objectives of the study are (1) to study the changes little diversification (Bhatia, 1965). in percentage share of area under different crops It is widely accepted method to find the region-wise over a period of time; (2) to analyse the district- (district-wise in the present study) importance in wise extent of crop diversification in Punjab; (3) to various crops (Bhatia, 1965; Ardeshna and Shiyani, study the specialisation of various crops in various 2011; Ghosh, 2011; Ramphul, 2012; De and Bodosa, districts in Punjab; and (4) to examine the suitability 2014). Hence, it is used for calculating the regional of the different districts in various crops. crop concentration. Database and Methodology Aij LQ = Aj ij Ai The present study is based on secondary data A sources. District-wise data on area under different th crops was compiled from various issues of Statistical Where; Aij = Area under crop ‘a’ in j district Abstract of Punjab, Punjab at a Glance, Directorate Aj = Gross Cropped Area (GCA) in jth district of Horticulture, Punjab and indiastat.com etc. Ai = Area under crop ‘a’ in the state Mainly, 11 crops have been analysed in the present A = GCA of the state study, i.e. 3 rabi crops, namely, wheat, barley and total pulses (moong, masur and arhar), 5 kharif crops, Hence, it is the index for measuring the magnitude namely, rice, cotton, maize, bajra and sugarcane and of the specialisation of a particular crop in a 3 others that includes fruits, vegetables and total particular region. The value of LQ may equal to oilseeds. The study covered the period from 2000-01 one, more than one or less than one. The value of to 2014-15. At present, Punjab state has 22 districts, LQ equal to unity shows the equal specialisation but due to non-availability of data for newly carved of a region/district vis-a-vis state in a particular districts, the present study has combined these crop. The value more than unity shows the more into 17 districts. Also, during 2000-01, there were specialisation of a region in growing crop than 17 districts in Punjab. The data has been analysed state means the proportionate area under a specific for four different periods viz. 2000-01, 2005-06, crop in a particular district is more than the 2010-11 and 2014-15. The study has examined the proportionate area under same crop in the state. district-wise cropping pattern and specialisation/ However, the value less than one indicate the lesser concentration in growing various crops, by applying specialisation of a region than state in a particular (a) Index of Crop Diversification (ICD) by Bhatia’s crop i.e. the proportion of a crop in a district to the method (b) Location Quotient (LQ) (c) Crop GCA of a district is less than the proportion of the Versatility Index, and (d) District Versatility Index. same crop to GCA in a state. Therefore, larger the Bhatia’s method for measuring crop diversification value of LQ, higher will be the concentration of crop was used with the following method: in a region and vice versa. Hence, it compares the relative situation of a crop in a region with that of Index of Crop diversification = the state level.

Food grain production increased from 50 mt in 1950- 51 to 257 mt in 2011-12. A food-deficient nation during 1950s and 1960s, it has now not only exportable surplus of certain commodities but is among the top exporters of rice, one of three most important crops. Punjab state has played a leading role in this agricultural transformation. Food grain production in the state was 3.1 mt in 1960-61 and it increased to 29.2 mt during 2011-12. More importantly, productivity of wheat rose from 12 to 51 q/ha and that of paddy from 15 to about 60 q/ha. In fact, rice production increased by nearly 50 times. With 38- 75 and 25-45 % contribution of wheat and rice, respectively, to the central food grain pool for public distribution, the State became mainstay of national food security and came to be known as bread basket of India. The agricultural transformation was technology led. It started with the introduction/development of high yielding dwarf, input responsive varieties of wheat in mid 1960s followed by that of rice and the package of complementary production-protection technologies, the adoption of which ushered in an era of “Green Revolution”.
