Wasim, M.P. (Karachi Univ. (Pakistan). Applied Economics Research Centre)

This paper attempts to explain the acreage allocation behaviour of sugarcane cultivators in terms of their responsiveness to price and non-price factors over the period, 1972-73 to 1993-94. Specifically, the paper estimates the elasticities of sugarcane acreage in Sindh and its districts with respect to the crops' (i) relative profitability, (ii) irrigation, (iii) risk variable arising from price and yield, (iv) area under plant protection measures and (v) sugar production by factories. Through its adjustment coefficient the model estimates the degree of farmers' realisation of various incentives provided to them.
