Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Existence of absentee ownership in land tenurial arrangements adversely affected the resource use and productivity of major crops raised in the studv areas. Unjustified claim for output by the land owners without sharing any cost was reported as the major cause of inefficiency in resource use and productivity in agriculture. Close relationship of the tenants with the absentee owners was not less important to have negative effect on resource use and productivity, Considering the adverse effect of absentee ownership on resource use and productivity, the study suggests refixation of land ceiling for this class and further purchase of land by them should be strictly restricted,
