Trends and growth rate analysis of pulses in Haryana vis-à-vis India

Abstract

An attempt has been made in the paper to find out the growth and trends of area, production and productivity of pulses in Haryana vis-a-vis India. The secondary data for a period from 1970-71 to 2016-17 was taken for study. This shows that the growth trends of area in Haryana was negative. Maximum area under pulses was covered in 1971-72 while lowest area under pulses was in 2015-16. In case of production growth trends was also negative in Haryana. Maximum production under pulses was found in 2012-13 while lowest production was found in 2015-16. Compound growth rate or area and production during this period was -5.56 and -4.51 per cent, respectively i.e. declining in trend in pulses. Productivity growth trends was positive in Haryana. Compound growth rate (CGR) of productivity during this period was 0.64 per cent. But in case of India, the area, production and productivity trends are positive. CGR of production and productivity was 1.09 and 0.97 per cent in India. Similarly, in productivity, CGR was 0.97 per cent which show positive trends. In this study we also found that the daily intake of pulses was low as per requirement of institute of nutrition. In case of export and import compound, growth trend was positive. Export of pulses was increase from last few years while import was decline.
