Chapter 7 in Diversification of Agriculture in Eastern India, 2015, pp 79-87 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter reveals that the agricultural sector in West Bengal has been gradually undergoing diversification in favour of high valued food crops like potato, oilseeds, fruits and vegetables. However, the pace of diversification has not been as fast as needed for speeding up of growth in agriculture, and the pattern of diversification in the state is due to expansion effect.
