In this paper, we present measures of land and labor productivity for a group of ninety-eight developed and developing countries using an entirely new data set with annual observations spanning the past three decades. The substantial cross-country and intertemporal variation in productivity in our sample is linked to both natural and economic factors. We extend previous work by dealing with multiple sources of systematic measurement error in conventional agricultural inputs. The mix of conventional inputs, indicators of quality of agricultural inputs, and the amount of publicly provided infrastructure are all significant in explaining observed cross-sectional differences in productivity patterns.read more

Productivity Growth in World Agriculture: Sources and Constraints
TL;DR: In the last half-century, advances in crop production came from expansion in areas irrigated from more intensive application of fertilizers and crop protection chemicals, and from crop varieties that were more responsive to technical inputs and management.

TL;DR: This article used data from the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the United Nations Population Division (UNPD) to project plausible values for 2050 for population size, diet, yield, and trade, and then look at their effect on the area needed to meet demand for the 23 most energetically important food crops, for the developing and developed worlds in turn.

Productivity Growth and Convergence in Agriculture and Manufacturing
TL;DR: Martin and Mitra as mentioned in this paper examined the growth and convergence of total factor productivity in agriculture and manufacturing in a large sample of countries spanning many levels of development over the period 1967-92, and found that the rate of productivity growth in agriculture has been higher than in manufacturing both on average and for groups of countries at different stages of development.

TL;DR: Martin and Mitra as mentioned in this paper examined the growth and convergence of total factor productivity in agriculture and manufacturing in a large sample of countries spanning a wide range of levels of development and found that the rate of productivity growth in agriculture was higher than in manufacturing both on average and for groups of countries at different stages of development.
