| Article Name : | | | Crop Diversification Under Market Reforms.

Since, currently farming is not up to subsistence level as before new agricultural strategy but commercial enterprises. This study is based on primary field survey in different crop regions in West-Bengal. For a better study, the study area is divided between developed, less developed and common samples. The study is classified according to acreage analysis and economic class analysis. Thus according to acreage analysis it is clearly revealed that higher acreage group in developed samples cultivates (winter) rabi crop in large area than higher acreage group in less developed samples. On the other hand, the higher acreage group in less developed samples cultivates kharif (summer) crop in large area. Regarding Economic class analysis, similar picture arises on the issue of sown area of different crops that the self employed middle peasants owned major portion of sown area in common samples, developed samples, and less developed samples. Crop diversification is greater among higher economic class. | | Keywords : | | |
