Harvesting Prosperity: A Comparative Analysis Of Karnataka's Agricultural Development Landscape (2021-22)
Main Article Content
Abstract
In India's southwest, Karnataka is the eighth-largest state. It is the industry leader in floriculture and horticulture. With 23.82 lakh hectares under cultivation, the State holds the top spot and accounts for 9.01 percent of the nation's total horticultural area. Its reputation as a producer of horticulture, cash crops, food crops, and plantations is widely acknowledged. Altitude and distance from the sea influence the interaction of topographic, climatic, and edaphic variables that result in a highly diversified and distinct ecosystem.
The current study aims to analyse the data that the Karnataka government has released regarding 27 indicators, using 31 districts as the study's units. The Composite Index Method is used to construct the agricultural development index, which is used to rank the districts.
The study revealed that whereas Tumakuru and Belgavi are poorly developed, the districts of Udupi, Bangalore (Rural), Kodagu, and Ramanagara are developed districts in terms of agriculture. Every other district is classified as a developing district.
