Abstract
This study examines the land size-productivity relationship and profitability among owner operated and share cropper operated farms growing soybean during the 1999 rainy season in three villages of Vidisha district of Madhya Pradesh. The land size-productivity relationship has been found inverse both for owner operated farms (-0.27) and share cropper operated farms (-0.30). The productivity of owner operated farms is marginally higher at 0.72 t ha-1 compared to 0.68 t ha-1 in share cropper operated farms, among ICRISAT trial farmers the yield is higher at 1.1 t ha-1. The advantage profit per hectare is also higher at Rs. 2045 per hectare in comparison to Rs. 1773 in share cropper operated farms. The exploitative nature of the share cropping contracts (20:80 ration and 33:66 ratio) is documented. The policy implications are analysed, and intervention strategies are recommended to the stakeholders to facilitate equitable development among farmers and share croppers.
