Abstract: An attempt has been made to analyse agricultural growth and the contribution of various components to the overall output growth of the Maharashtra State for the period from 1961-62 to 1997-98. It is observed that the growth in area of major crops in the state revealed mixed trend. The future strategy of agricultural development of the state will have to be centered on increasing productivity through the expansion of area under irrigation and HYVs [GIPE WP].
