The structural transformation brings changes to new technology in the form of high-yielding seeds, fertilizers and pesticides and the adoption of modern and improved farm practices since mid-1960s. However, after the mid-1980s, the growth rate of the agricultural economy started decelerating. Results revealed that during overall period, the growth rate in area, production and yield was negative for field crops except for rice and wheat. For fruits and vegetables, the growth rate in area, production and yield were positive for almost all the periods, the area effect was higher for food grains and the yield effect was higher in fruits. The state was found to be less diversified.
