Answer to Question #98909 in Human geography for Davang Gautamik

Question

Outline the concept of agricultural productivity (4 marks).

Answer 1

Agricultural productivity is usually measured as the output ratio against the input ratio of products. It can also be measured by total factor productivity (TFP) which compares index of input against index of output. Product are measured by weight hence they vary in densities making the overall output difficult to determine. Output is usually measured as the final market value where intermediate products are excluded. The output value is usually compared to other types of inputs hence partial measures.
