Abstract
Resource-use efficiency is a prerequisite for effective resource management and profitable agriculture, and it is crucial to achieving this aim. The survey year of 2021–2022 provided the primary and secondary data on which the report was built. According to the study, the production elasticities for the kharif crops of paddy, sugarcane, and urd are 0.85, 0.88, and 0.85, respectively, whereas they are 0.87, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively, for the rabi crops of wheat. According to an examination of the production function of the dairy sector, the production elasticities of Green+ Dry Fodder, Concentrates, Health, and Labor in marginal, small, and medium size grouped farms were 0.88, 0.93, and 0.91, respectively.
