Analysis on growth rate and decomposition analysis of major cereals grown in kharif season in northern hills of Chhattisgarh

Abstract

In the present investigation, an attempt was made to study the decomposition and acreage response of various crops raised in Kharif and Rabi season in Norther hills of Chhattisgarh. The study was based on time series secondary data on the area, production and productivity, which were obtained from various Government publications. decomposition model was used in acreage response analysis based on time series data. The study period was from 2001-02 to 2019-20 and it had divided into two periods. The decomposition analysis suggested that there was positive effect of area and interaction of area and yield except in Balrampur district for paddy while in case of Maize only Surajpur district produced negative interaction effect between area and yield of Northern hills, including Chhattisgarh. The study revealed that the compound growth rate for area and production under Paddy and Maize was recorded high during study in all the districts except Jashpur, Koria and Surajpur in terms of area of maize and for paddy Surajpur, Balrampur and Sarguja shown significant decline in area and production in northern hills of Chhattisgarh.
