| Summary, etc |
The paper has examined the changes in inter-sectoral relations as driven by the sectoral<br/>shares and sectoral growth patterns, and has traced the nature of linkages between<br/>agriculture and the rest of the economy in the changing context. The relation between use<br/>of technological inputs in agriculture and employment encompasses the socio-economic<br/>and technical links between inputs and outputs. In this context, the paper has examined<br/>by means of a case study, the role of bio-chemical technology in raising crop productivity<br/>and net incomes of farmers. Increasing output and profitability in the agriculture sector<br/>are the necessary precursors for strengthening the linkages between agriculture and the<br/>rest of the economy. The adoption of herbicide-tolerant (HT) technology has been found<br/>to reduce the cost of production through lower expenditure on herbicides, labour,<br/>machinery and fuel, despite charging of technology fees on the seeds. In this context, the<br/>paper has assessed the potential impact on agricultural productivity and net profits<br/>through the introduction of technology, viz., herbicide-tolerant (HT) cotton in sample<br/>farms across Gujarat. The findings based on secondary analysis and evidence based on a<br/>case study have categorically indicated the need for greater farm mechanization<br/>coupled with introduction of technologies that are labour saving if agricultural<br/>productivity has to be maintained and stepped up. Such an outcome would no doubt<br/>enhance agriculture-industry linkages in the production process and would also have<br/>favourable income effects giving a further boost to agriculture and industry.<br/> |
