Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze the crop diversification and crop concentration in Orissa in the last one and half decade. It is pursued through measuring crop diversification and crop concentration index. We have used Herphindal and Entropy measure for crop diversification and locational quotient measure has been used to measure crop concentration. The result shows that in all most all districts, crop specialization is taking place and more so in the last phase of our study. Then employing an ordinary least square we have figured out the major determinants of crop diversification.
