Abstract: Agricultural diversification towards high value cash crops can potentially increase farm incomes, especially in a State like Jammu and Kashmir where demand for high value crops especially fruits has been increasing more quickly than that of cereal crops. Jammu and Kashmir agriculture is overwhelming dominated by small holders, and researchers have long debated the ability of smallholders-dominated subsistence farm economy to diversify into high value commercial crops. Here, we present evidence that the gradual diversification of J&K agriculture towards high value cash crops exhibits pro-smallholder bias, with smallholders playing prominently larger role in the cultivation of horticulture crops. The observed patterns are consistent with simple comparative-advantage based production choices. The comparatively high labour endowments of the small farmers, as reflected in their greater family sizes, induce them to diversify towards horticulture crops. Small or medium holders do not appear to allocate a greater share of land to vegetables or fruits. However, the share allocated to fruits significantly higher if the family size is bigger, while the reverse is true in case of vegetables.
