"Andhra Pradesh (AP) is one of the largest states in India, with agriculture providing the major\r\nsource of income for about 60 per cent of the population even though it contributes only 19\r\nper cent state GDP. In the last 40 years, annual growth rate of agriculture is 2.88 per cent as\r\nagainst targetted growth of about 4 per cent per annum. This paper analyses the sources of\r\ncrop sub-sector growth in pre-liberalisation period (from 1970-1989) and post-liberalisation\r\nperiod (from 1990-2009). The growth rate in value of production in pre-liberalisation period\r\nis lower (2.4% per annum) than post-liberalisation period (2.7% per annum) per annum. Even\r\nthough contribution of both yield and crop diversification to growth in value of production\r\nis higher, the negative contribution of real prices is the main reason for slower growth in preliberalisation\r\nperiod. While positive contribution of prices along with yield and diversification\r\nin the post-liberalisation period contributed for higher growth rate. In the post-liberalisation\r\nperiod, regions are specialising based on their resource endowment (coastal Andhra in paddy,\r\nTelangana in cotton and Rayalaseema in groundnut), even though all the regions show general\r\ntendency of diversification towards high value crops (HVCs) like fruits and vegetables. The\r\npaper highlights that the small farmer’s participation in diversification towards HVCs (HVCs;\r\nfruits, vegetables, spices, cotton and sugarcane) is limited, but they adopted the yield\r\nincreasing technology components like high yielding varieties (HYVs), irrigation and cropping\r\nintensity compared to large farmers. As a result gross and net returns per ha are higher among\r\nsmall farms. This might have positive effect on small farmers (<2.0 ha) who comprise 86 per\r\ncent of the total farm households, and cultivate, on average, half a hectare of land. The paper\r\nalso demonstrates that there is positive association between reduction of poverty and area\r\nunder HVCs. Agricultural diversification in favour of HVCs that generate larger returns and\r\nare labour-intensive, which are demand driven to be explored for the benefit of small farmers.\r\nIn many agricultural development indicators, coastal Andhra is better positioned followed by\r\nTelangana and Rayalaseema."^^ .
