Agricultural Productivity: Measurement and Sources of Growth addresses measurement issues and techniques in agricultural productivity analysis, applying those techniques to recently published data sets for American agriculture. The data sets are used to estimate and explain state level productivity and efficiency differences, and to test different approaches to productivity measurement. The rise in agricultural productivity is the single most important source of economic growth in the U.S. farm sector, and the rate of productivity growth is estimated to be higher in agriculture than in the non-farm sector. It is important to understand productivity sources and to measure its growth properly, including the effects of environmental externalities. Both the methods and the data can be accessed by economists at the state level to conduct analyses for their own states. In a sense, although not explicitly, the book provides a guide to using the productivity data available on the website of the U.S. Department of Agriculture/Economic Research Service. It should be of interest to a broad spectrum of professionals in academia, the government, and the private sector.

This work takes a new look at the question of agricultural production and productivity and reopens the issue of agricultural growth and the questions that still surround its extraordinary impact on European societies. The nine contributions making up the volume set out another approach to this unprecedented shift, written from a new angle with new methods and a new way of associating micro and macro analyses. These chapters also make a break with the illusion of a single and dominant English or Anglo-Dutch model, and take a critical look against preconceptions that consist of interpreting everything in terms of advances or delays, and of ignoring the context behind the economic decisions made by producers. This collection makes it possible to get away from the eternal confrontation of French and English models, and to change the picture by careful consideration of another country with its own very specific natural and institutional conditions: Spain. It sets out to analyse some of the paths taken by agricultures to overcome the constraints under which they operated, using historical experience and statistical analysis, without preconceived ideas. These papers do not hesitate to cross traditional chronological boundaries and look at different scales of production, at different times and in different places. They make incursions into a subject that is still crucial to present-day society, at a moment when the future of the food supply on much of the planet is as urgent and acute as ever.

This volume is written primarily for agricultural economists doing research on productivity. It includes discussions of the theoretical underpinnings of productivity measurement as well as the many practical considerations that go into translating this theory into actual measures of aggregated outputs and inputs. The unifying concept of agricultural productivity used across the chapters of this volume is aggregate total factor productivity (TFP) of the sector. The volume also contains detailed analysis of the underlying causes of agricultural productivity growth. Part I (chapters 2-6) examines agricultural productivity in high-income and transition countries. Part II (chapters 7-11) examines agricultural productivity growth and its driving forces in five important agricultural producers in Asia and Latin America. Part III (chapters 12-14) focuses on measuring and identifying constraints to agricultural productivity growth in sub-Saharan Africa. Part IV (chapters 15-16) gives a global perspective on agricultural productivity.

Agribusiness has a major role to play in the transformation of the agricultural sector in Africa. With the demand for high-value food products increasing around the world, the production and export of these goods represents an opportunity to achieve increases in income and employment. To capture the benefits of this trend and capitalize on this opportunity for long-term agricultural growth, agribusiness in Africa must become more competitive. In addition to improving competitiveness, increasing agricultural productivity and food security are also major challenges in African agricultural development. In this paper, we compare the agribusiness competitiveness of African countries and develop typologies connected with their food security and agricultural productivity status. The typologies reveal various stylized facts on the competitiveness of agribusiness to help nations prioritize issues for agricultural development and growth. We develop the measures of agribusiness competitiveness and apply them to African countries. Additionally, we present policy implications and lessons for increasing the competitiveness of agribusiness in African countries.

U.S. agricultural output more than doubled between 1948 and 2011, with growth averaging 1.49 percent per year. With little growth in total measured use of agricultural inputs, the extraordinary performance of the U.S. farm sector was driven mainly by increases in total factor productivity (TFP--measured as output per unit of aggregate input). Over the last six decades, the mix of agricultural inputs used shifted significantly, with increased use of intermediate goods (e.g., fertilizer and pesticides) and less use of labor and land. The output mix changed as well, with crop production growing faster than livestock production. Based on econometric analysis of updated (1948-2011) TFP data, this study finds no statistical evidence that longrun U.S. agricultural productivity has slowed over time. Model-based projections show that in the future, slow growth in research and development investments may have only minor effects on TFP growth over the next 10 years but will slow TFP growth much more over the long term.

America's farms and farmers are integral to the U.S. economy and, more broadly, to the nation's social and cultural fabric. A healthy agricultural sector helps ensure a safe and reliable food supply, improves energy security, and contributes to employment and economic development, traditionally in small towns and rural areas where farming serves as a nexus for related sectors from farm machinery manufacturing to food processing. The agricultural sector also plays a role in the nation's overall economic growth by providing crucial raw inputs for the production of a wide range of goods and services, including many that generate substantial export value. If the agricultural sector is to be accurately understood and the policies that affect its functioning are to remain well informed, the statistical system's data collection programs must be periodically revisited to ensure they are keeping up with current realities. This report reviews current information and makes recommendations to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) and Economic Research Service (ERS) to help identify effective methods for collecting data and reporting information about American agriculture, given increased complexity and other changes in farm business structure in recent decades.

Total-factor productivity (TFP) is a variable which accounts for effects in total output not caused by traditionally measured inputs of labour and capital. If all inputs are accounted for, then total factor productivity can be taken as a measure of an economy’s long-term technological change or technological dynamism, scale of economies and efficiency.TFP is regarded as the more accurate productivity measure than the partial productivity measure. The broader the coverage of resources, the better is the productivity measure. The best measure is one that compares output with the combined use of all resources” (Chandel, 2007). TFP is the change in output relative to a weighted combination of all inputs, where the weights are factor shares. Some authors also define TFP as contribution of non-traditional inputs to output. For example non inputs were technology, irrigation, infrastructure, managerial skills and so on.The calculated TFP is decomposed in to a) Scale of economies b) Technical change and c) Residual or Efficiency or Management to know the contribution of non-conventional inputs to the output growth.There are different approaches for estimation of TFP, such as Production function approach, Growth accounting approach and Non-Parametric approach.World ScenarioCoelli, et al., 2003, conducted a study on Total Factor Productivity growth in Agriculture: A Malmquist index analysis of 93 Countries. The results shown that, Asia as a region posted the highest TFP growth of 2.9 percent followed by North America (consisting of USA and Canada), Australasia, Europe, Africa and South America. South America has posted the lowest growth rate of 0.6 per cent followed by Africa with 1.3 per cent growth in TFP. A surprising result is that over the period 1980-2000. The results on continent-level information for six regions revealed that, the largest difference occurs for South and Central America, where the average TFP growth measure increases from 0.6 percent to 1.5 per cent per annum.Country ScenarioChand et al., 2011, estimated average annual TFP growth for the major crops cultivated in India. Among cereals, wheat experienced the highest growth in TFP index during the three decades from 1975 to 2005. Among pulses, the TFP growth was estimated to be 0.5 per cent for moong, followed by gram (0.2 per cent). TFP for Arhar and Urad crops displayed a decline over the past three decades. The TFP is a useful indicator of changes in long-term productivity. The TFP growth (TFPG) in the oilseed sector varied in the range 0.7-0.8 per cent per annum.An attempt was made to analyze the TFP of ragi in Karnataka. The results shown that, TFP for ragi increased from 1.17 during 1999 to 1.81 in 2013. The TFP fell to 0.61 in 2011 and 0.67 in 2008 due to drought during that period. The highest TFP index was observed in 2007-08 (2.18). The average TFP index for 15 years was 1.12.The output index of ragi increased from 1.40 in 1999 to 1.79 in 2013. The average input index of ragi was 1.14 for fifteen years.Suresh, K. 2013, conducted a study on Economic impact of public sector agricultural research in ragi and redgram in Karnataka. The results revealed that, the Total Factor Productivity index of redgram grew at the rate of 3.31 per cent per annum and that of ragi grew at 4.75 per cent per annum. Thus, Public research significantly contributed to TFP growth in ragi.ConclusionTotal factor productivity can be estimated by different approaches. In growth accounting approach the tornqvist-thiel index is commonly used which is based on translog production function. The TFP decomposition analysis helps to identify factors which influence the total factor productivity growth. The results of the decomposition analysis indicate which variable contribute to growth in productivity. This will enable policy makers to suggest plan and programmes to achieve total factor productivity growth.
