The concept of agricultural productivity has been widely used to clarify the spatial organization and distribution of agricultural practices, and to glean important insights into how agricultural systems operate across varying spatial contexts. Productivity generally is assessed from two key standpoints: (a) on the productivity of land resources that are used in agricultural practice, and (b) on the productivity of the infrastructure that exists in support of agricultural activity, both interrelated and mutually implicated in overall agricultural success. Objectives: The present research examines the varying contentions associated with measuring agricultural productivity. Methods and Materials: This discussion focuses on the methods used for measuring agricultural productivity, including the Agriculture Productivity Index, and also digs deeper into how agricultural productivity is determined. Results and Discussions: Quality and quantity in the context of productivity are influenced by four main factors—the land, labor, capital and the entrepreneur of the farmer. While land productivity applies primarily to crop-based agriculture, it can also apply to livestock production. There are many measures of productivity that can be calculated but one comprehensive measure is the ratio of the total value of all farm products to the total land area used for agriculture. Conclusion: It is also important to note that different areas within the country exhibit different and divergent problems in relation to agricultural production.
