Abstract: The growth performance of agriculture in Maharashtra was highly impressive is the early part of the green revolution period but deteriorated after 1980-81. the severe set back to growth in yield per hectare of cereals and sugarcane, in particular and decline in total factor productivity growth, in general, were the major forces behind the post-1980 deceleration. Reversing of these trends calls for significant reforms in the irrigation the sector and a substantial rise in investment in technology and broad-based infrastractural development for agriculture, ensuring efficient access of farmer to technology, markets and education.
