The debate on farm size productivity revolves around the relationship between the size of a farm and its productivity levels. Many scholars have reported conflicts and debates surrounding the relationship between farm size and productivity. The present study attempts to analyse literature and draw conclusion on the farm size productivity debate in context of Indian agriculture. Early studies on Indian agriculture suggested an inverse relationship between farm size and productivity, indicating that smaller farms tend to be more productive. However, over time literature emerged suggesting weakening of the inverse relationship.
