New method revolutionizes measurement of agricultural development for accurate growth assessment.
The article discusses how agricultural development is measured using a composite index based on various indicators. The researchers used a methodology suggested by Narian in 2007, which is considered superior to other methods. They found that agricultural growth can be measured based on factors like area, production, and productivity, both independently and together. Additionally, they discovered that non-agricultural indicators play a significant role in agricultural development. The relationship between crop and non-crop indicators was also examined.
