abstract: This paper analysed the growth performance of non-rice crop sectors by estimating total factor
productivity (TFP) growth for the selected coarse cereals viz., maize, sorghum and pearl millet in
India. The analysis indicates that the TFP growth contributed substantially to the output growth of
coarse cereals over the past three decades. The TFP growth was higher in those states where coverage
of irrigation was relatively high. TFP grew at an average of 1.4 percent per annum through out the
Green Revolution (GR) period for sorghum in the sate of Maharashtra where about half of the India’s
sorghum area is concentrated mostly under rainfed conditions. Although small in absolute terms over
the past three decades, the overall findings suggest that GR technologies have contributed
considerably to output growth of coarse cereals. The contribution of technological progress was
considerably higher in those regions where MVs were adopted under irrigated/semi-irrigated
conditions. This TFP’s contribution could further be seen more visibly if some irrigation and policy
support are also provided to the coarse cereals.
