A study on area, production, productivity of nutricereals in India: An overview of growth and instability analysis

Abstract

The present study revealed that among nutricereals, in case of Jowar crop the area and production was found to be negative whereas productivity was positive (0.86%). Similarly in bajra, area was decreased by 0.59% whereas the growth in production was positive with 1.77% and in case of productivity the growth was 2.42% in comparison with all the nutricereals have registered negative g growth in both area and production during the period 1961 to 2022. On the other hand, the observations on instability index in area, production and productivity shows that, the bajra crop revealed higher degree of Variation during the study period from 1961 to 2022, which was followed by Jowar, Ragi and small millets. The total instability index was low for overall area, production and productivity.
