The medium agricultural productivity is found in scattered areas and in isolated patches in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, parts of Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal. In these areas the irrigation facilities are not well developed and the double cropped area varies between 5 and 20 per cent. The main crops of the regions in which medium productivity is found are rice, wheat, coarse grains (millets), pulses, and oilseeds. The agriculture in these regions is mainly subsistent. Non-availability of irrigation is a major barrier in the enhancement of agricultural productivity.
