Production Levels of Major Crops by Tahsil in Jashpur District (C.G.): A Geographical Study

Abstract Jashpur district is situated on the north-eastern corner of Chhattisgarh state in between 22°17′ and 23°15′ North latitude and 83°30′ and 84°24′ East longitude with a hub of agricultural diversity, distinguished by its unique geographical terrain. The primary objective of this research is to assess the regional variations in the production levels of Jashpur's major crops. The present study is based on both the primary & secondary data which is derived from the various sources for the study years 2015-16 and 2019-20, and statistical methods have been employed to analyze this data. The study reveals that agriculture in Jashpur is predominantly dependent on monsoon rainfall and the nature of the soil, with paddy (rice) serving as the dominant crop, covering approximately 72% of the total sown area. A tehsil-wise analysis indicates that the Bagicha and Patthalgaon tehsils lead in terms of total agricultural area and production, whereas intensive farming practices are observed in smaller tehsils such as Duldula and Kunkuri. Given the plateau-like topography of the study area, limited irrigation facilities and soil erosion significantly impact crop production levels. In conclusion, the district possesses immense potential for crop diversification. If micro-irrigation techniques and modern agricultural management practices are promoted at the tehsil level, the resulting production levels will not only ensure self-sufficiency but also serve as a foundation for the economic empowerment of the tribal communities residing in the region.
