Abstract

It is possible to enhancement of agricultural productivity with environmental sustainability through efficient utilization of resources. This hypothesis is examined by the efficiency and the responsible factors for controlling inefficiency of the farms. The empirical analyses are conducted based on the secondary data of 14 960 farms scattered into five different paddy producing zones of West Bengal, India. The Efficiency estimates disclose that clayey soil texture zone is the most efficient and sandy and gravelly soil texture zone is the least efficient concerning paddy production. The study concludes with appropriate policy implications that the inefficiency on the part of the farms is caused by inefficient utilization of the chemical fertilizers, viz., nitrogen and potassium and insecticides and by the efficient utilization of this the farm can increase its productivity with environmental sustainability.
