Abstract

Agricultural diversification is an important mechanism for the economic growth of country. In order to meet the challenges of a globalized market in agriculture as well as the growing and changing needs of the increasing population, many countries have undertaken crop diversification to enhance the productivity and to cultivate high value crop with positive outcomes. Countries are gradually diversifying their crop sector in favour of high value commodities, especially fruits, vegetables and spices. Indian agriculture has been diversifying during the last two decades towards High Value Commodities (HVCs) i.e., fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, and fish products. Diversification in agriculture is “developing a large number crop of enterprises mix in favour of high value as well as more remunerative crops”. Agricultural diversification ensures stability in the farm incomes by minimizing risk because low return from one crop is compensated by high returns from other “it can only happen when eggs are not all in one basket” (Heady, 1968). This paper deals with status of agriculture and diversification index across districts of J&K based on NSSO data. For agriculture status average, percentage is calculated. Comparison is made among the districts of J &K. For the purpose of diversification index, different indices like Simpson and Herfindhal were calculated. Based on the indices value division is made among the districts and categorized as highly, medium and low level of diversification, whereas the results of both the indices are somehow constant.
