Changing Cropping Patterns
of India

• cropping pattern is a dynamic concept because it changes over space and time. It can be defined as the
proportion of area under various crops at a point of time. Sometimes a number of crops are cultivated in
combinations and rotations over a period.

• In India, the cropping pattern is determined by rainfall, climate, temperature, soil type, technology
and socio-economic conditions of the farmers.

• Population explosion and urbanisation has led to land conversion, boosting intensive
farming and has brought changes in cropping patterns.

• Green Revolution also led to changes in the cropping patterns. Rice was introduced
to Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
• At the beginning of the present century, nearly 83 percent of the
total cultivable land of India was put under food crops and
the remaining 17 percent was put under non-food crops. But
in 1944-45, there was a change in the cropping pattern in India
and area under food crops came down to 80 percent and the area
under non-food crops slightly increased to 20 percent.

• Among all the food crops, the largest increase in area since 1950-
51 has already been recorded by wheat cultivation which shows
an increase of 132 percent by 1987-88. But in the case of both rice
and pulses, the increase in area has been restricted to only 23
percent; Coarse cereals have recorded only marginal increase of 11
percent by 1987-88.
