Abstract: In this paper, we attempt to analyse the changes in paddy productivity growth in West Bengal and Orissa during eighties and early nineties. Results reveal that input productivity has played an important role in the agricultural growth performance in the eighties and early nineties in these states. While this productivity growth has been brought about through improvements both in efficiency and technology, there are substantial variations across seasons and seed varieties. Also, the performance of paddy in West Bengal has been better than that of Orissa, primarily because the state of production technology in West Bengal is more advanced than in Orissa.
