Economic and Political WeeklySummary: In India, rising weather uncertainty has caused large-scale damage to crops in the last two years. In order to lower such risks, the cultivation pattern should move away from highly intensive input usage towards low-risk optimal input usage wherein a reasonably good level of overall crop production and returns per acre could be generated. The analysis based on unit-wise household data of farmers during 2018–19 shows that only 1% of farmers use optimal inputs. By shifting cultivation towards optimal input usage pattern, the revenue could be increased by 70% and the average income of the farmers by 90%.- Reproduced
