Summary: Since the early 1960s India's five year plans have aimed at a growth rate in agricultural output of 4 percent per year or more but have failed to achieve it. Now that the expansion in net sown area has largely petered out, a much faster expansion of multiple cropping is needed if output goals are to be attained. To acquire a better understanding of this source of crop output growth, this report examines the considerable differences in cropping intensity from state to state and within selected states.
