Abstract: This study analyses changes in crop revenue and its key determinants in the Northern Hill agro-climatic zone of Madhya Pradesh from 2007–08 to 2016–17. The analysis is based on secondary data collected from official agricultural sources. The Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method was used to separate the effects of area, yield, price, and cropping pattern on overall crop revenue. The results show that paddy, wheat, and gram are the major crops in the region. Among the different factors, yield and price effects were the main drivers of growth in crop revenue, while area and cropping pattern had a relatively smaller influence. At the crop level, paddy contributed most to area, yield, and price effects, whereas wheat played a major role in cropping pattern changes. The study suggests that improving productivity, ensuring better price support, and promoting crop diversification can help increase farm income and support sustainable agricultural growth.
