Abstract
The study analyzed and compared the growth rates of area, production and productivity
of common major crops of Pakistan and India from 1984 85 to 2008 09. It reveals that
in Pakistan the increase in the production growth rate of rice, wheat and sugarcane
were due to increase both in its area and productivity, but productivity growth rate
contributed more as compared to increase in its area growth, while for cottonseed area
and productivity growth contributed equally. The study also confirms that in India the
increase in the production growth of rice and wheat were due to increase both in its
area and productivity growth but productivity contributed more than area. The study
also confirms that area growth rate of rice and cottonseed for Pakistan increased by
more percentage per annum as compared to India. The study also concludes that the
area growth rate of wheat and sugarcane increased by more percentage for India as
compared to Pakistan. The major finding of this study is that as far as production and
productivity growth rates are concerned, it increased by more percentage for all the
crops of Pakistan as compared to Indian crops.
