Abstract:
The present study assessed the performance of selected cereal crops viz., wheat and rice in state in terms of growth and variability
over 30 years’ time period from 1991-92 to 2020-21. Further these periods are divided into four sub-periods. The study is entirely
based on secondary data obtained from the Directorate of Economics and statistics, ministry of Agriculture, Government of India,
New Delhi. To obtained this, exponential growth model and Cuddy-Della Valle index (CDVI) were used. The study concluded
that, the area, production and productivity of wheat reported positive compound annual growth rate. However, a positive and
significant growth rate were seen across the sub-period II and III. In terms of variability, it was found that in both the crops wheat
and rice reported highest variation in production when compared to area and productivity.
