Potential for Mutual Gains from Operation Barga's Increased Output
The growth in total agricultural output, described metaphorically as an 'increase in the size of the pie,' created a theoretical possibility for a win-win outcome from the Operation Barga reforms. In principle, this larger output could have been distributed in a way that both the sharecropping farmers and the landowners were made better off than they were before the reforms.
