GROWTH AND INSTABLITY IN PRINCIPAL CROPS OF HARYANA: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

The dominant objectives of this research are to analyze the growth performance and instability in the area, production and productivity of principal crops of Haryana. To estimate the growth performance Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) method and to measure instability the Cuddy-Della Valle Index, were employed. This study can be divided into three sub-periods:

2005-06 to 2010-2011, 2011-12 to 2016-17 and 2017-18 to 2022-23. Results of the study indicates that, several growth patterns recorded, in the CAGR of area under crop, production of  the crop and productivity of the selected crops of Haryana. While considering the area under crop, highest instability at 95.41% occurred from 2011-12 to 2016-17, in case of production highest instability at 87.96% occurred during the third sub-period and productivity of the crop was highly volatile (108.43) during the third sub-period.
