Agricultural productivity growth is at the heart of dealing with global food security global agricultural total factor productivity grew at 1.0 % a year between 1961 and 2010 it accounted for a significant proportion of agricultural output growth and depressed global food price

However, agricultural productivity grows unevenly across countries Evidence of convergence in agricultural productivity between developed countries the significant gap in productivity levels and growth between developed and developing countries It is essential to investigate the disparity in the levels and growth of agricultural productivity across countries/regions and its drivers.
