Abstract:

Being a principal factor of production land occupies an important position in agriculture production and plays a key role in determining resource efficiency therefore,t he study was conducted to understand temperate fruits productivity of the different blocks of district Shimla in order to reveal the resource efficiency picture of different blocks. For studying resource efficiency, one has taken land as the main and principal resource and data of 10 years (2008-2018) for 10 Blocks being collected and analyzed with the help of regression and percentage method. It was found that in Almonds, Apricot, Cheery and Pears production at blocks Rampure and Jubbal & Kotkhai are showing the highest average and per hectare productivity however the coefficient value of land concerned blocks Narkand,Rohru, Mashobra, and Jubbal & Kotkhai is showing the highest land productivity for Almonds, Apricot, Cherry and Pears production, therefore, reveals the production and efficiency status of difference blocks of Shimla District.

Highlights

  • Average, CAGR and land elasticity of Rampur and Narkanda Blocks is highest among all the given Blocks in Almonds production.
  • Average productivity and Average per hectare productivity of Jubbal and Kotkhai, and Nankhari block is highest among all the other Blocks in cheery production
  • Mashobra and Jubbal & Kotkhai are among the top two Blocks in Average and Average Per hectare production in Apricot production
  • Block Jubbal and Kotkhai looks strong in Pears production.
