This book offers a comprehensive study of agricultural development in undivided Bengal between 1920 and 1946. The first section focuses on evaluating the reliability of officially published crop statistics and provides an in-depth analysis of trends in cultivated area, agricultural output, and yield per acre. Key issues addressed include the steady decline in per capita crop production and the underlying economic factors contributing to the Bengal Famine of 1943.
The second part of the book explores various elements that directly or indirectly influenced agricultural trends. These include the impact of crop prices on land use, as well as shifts in the physical capacity of Bengal’s agricultural sector. The analysis also compares labor availability with crop output over time. Additionally, the study examines the challenges surrounding agricultural credit and assesses the development of the Co-operative credit movement during the period.
