Estimation of Agricultural Production

Abstract

The successful implementation of e-governance mainly depends on the reliability of its database, as this can be efficiently utilized to give more precise estimates of future production. These predications can be made the basis of the policy for import and export of products like food grain or other crops, which are presently growing in the agricultural fields. Knowing the previous record of the product, as auxiliary variable, one can estimate its future production. This chapter, by constructing practical situational caricatures, emphasizes that the statistical tool like ratio analysis and regression analysis may be helpful in estimating the parameters of the variable in the agriculture field. It includes five illustrations to put forth the idea of application of statistical tools to make effective policy in the field of agriculture.
