Abstract

Policy makers are continuously emphasizing upon devising a strategy that can offload the burden on farm sector by reducing disguised unemployment and also ensure sustained increased earnings of the remaining farmers. Agro-industries in general and food processing industries in particular are expected to play a catalytic role at this juncture. This study is an attempt to find out the dominance, factor productivity growth and convergence of food processing industries using three-digit level data collected from Annual Survey of Industries for years 1980-81 to 2015-16.Results indicate that an increase in output in the food processing sector has taken place at the cost of labor and high growth is achieved by replacing labor with technology.
