Crop Yield index as a measure of productivity
Abstract
Given the scarcity of resources for investment in agriculture, it is necessary to mark out areas of
high and low agricultural productivity. Policy-makers can then decide where to concentrate the possible
agricultural development works, considering the goals in view
It is necessary, therefore, to formulate a measure for gauging agricultural productivity. Several
suggestions have been made on the definition of agricultural productivity. The following article considers
these, and recommends the crop yield index as the most useful measure.
