ABSTRACT
Agriculture is a backbone of Indian economy. Production cost plays an important role in the decision making process of the farmers. In general, at a given level of prices, a farmer can increase his farm income in two-ways, either by increasing the production or by reducing the cost of production. Production elasticities and related particulars of different input factors in maize on different sizes of tribal farms in Khammam and Warangal districts are presented in Table 5.23. In Khammam and Warangal district, it was observed from the values of co-efficients of multiple determinations that 0.92, 0.89, 0.96 and 0.93 and 0.95,0.75 ,0.95 and 0.92 percent of variation in output was explained by the variables selected in the functions of small, medium, large and pooled farms respectively.
Key words: Maize, Elasticities, Agriculture, Economy.
