TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Small farmers' suicide in Odisha JO - Economic and political weekly A1 - Mohanty, B.B. A1 - Lenka, P.K. SP - 51 EP - 59 VL - 54 IS - 22 N2 - The changes in Odisha's agriculture made paddy production a losing proposition, especially for the small farmers who leased in land. Substantial decline in farm income caused by exploitative land lease arrangements, denial of access to a regulated market, crop failures, increased cost of cultivation, and indebtedness pushed these farmers into severe economic hardship and an inhospitable social environment, which ultimately led to their suicides. © 2019 Economic and Political Weekly.
