The present study aimed to analyze the trends and growth rates in arrivals and prices of major food crops in Haryana during 2007-08 to 2017-18. The study was based on secondary data. The growth rate was computed by using CGR, trends by linear trend equations and polynomial trend equations and R2. The results shows that the growth rate and trends of food crops prices are positive and significant in Haryana, that means food crops prices increasing over the study period, whereas wheat (4.14%), rice (5.09%) and gram (14.96%) arrivals shows positive and significant growth rate and trend. Bajra (-14.58), barley (-9.29) show negative significant growth rate. Maize shows positive non-significant growth i.e. 8.79 per cent whereas rapeseed/ mustard shows negative and non-significant i.e. -0.08 per cent. The value of R2 in food crops prices varies from 0.69 to 0.99 and in arrivals from 0.33 to 0.84.
