Abstract: This paper analyses inter-state variations in agricultural labour productivity, sources of labour productivity growth. It also examines the incidence of rural poverty and the interrelations between labour productivity and rural poverty over four selected time points. Our analysis reveals that yield was the major source of growth in labour productivity. The major conclusion that emerges from the analysis on the relationship between labour productivity and rural poverty is that the poverty reducing impact of labour productivity has increased in the post-new technology periods as compared to the pre-new technology period.
