Abstract: The paper examines the sources and patterns of growth in crop sector in Uttar Pradesh and identifies the drivers through panel data from 2004-05 to 2015-16. The results reveal that yield and diversification are found to be the sustainable sources of growth in crop sector in all regions except Bundelkhand. However, these sources have varied widely across the regions. The fixed effect regression model result show that irrigated area, electricity, road length, agricultural loan, agricultural market, fertilisers, tractor, literacy rate, planned expanses and normal rainfall are drivers of agricultural growth. Thus, infrastructural, institutional, technological and socio-economic factors ought to be improved through new policies.
