The current research has been conducted on the state of agriculture in Uttar Pradesh. The research endeavoured to find out the impact of traditional and modern farming methods on value creation in agriculture in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh is primarily an agrarian economy. It has emerged from the study that agriculture is influenced by both modern and traditional farming. The results indicated that a number of farmers follow a blend of traditional and modern methods of farming. It was also observed that the farm linkages to other agriculture supporting activities were broken. Hence, the economies of scale and scope could not be reaped in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Probably, a high production of agricultural products is the outcome of the vast expanse of land under cultivation. An exploratory study was conducted in order to understand the above piece of research. Descriptive statistics showed how agricultural trends have been outlined. With the help of the Kruskal-Wallis test (non-parametric alternative of one way ANOVA) and Man-Whitney test, it was found that there are significant differences among various farming methods in the value addition process.

Abstract


The current research has been conducted on the state of agriculture in Uttar Pradesh. The research endeavoured to find out the impact of traditional and modern farming methods on value creation in agriculture in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh is primarily an agrarian economy. It has emerged from the study that agriculture is influenced by both modern and traditional farming. The results indicated that a number of farmers follow a blend of traditional and modern methods of farming. It was also observed that the farm linkages to other agriculture supporting activities were broken. Hence, the economies of scale and scope could not be reaped in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Probably, a high production of agricultural products is the outcome of the vast expanse of land under cultivation. An exploratory study was conducted in order to understand the above piece of research. Descriptive statistics showed how agricultural trends have been outlined. With the help of the Kruskal-Wallis test (non-parametric alternative of one way ANOVA) and Man-Whitney test, it was found that there are significant differences among various farming methods in the value addition process.
