Growth and Instability of Area, Production and Yield under Rice Cultivation in Uttar Pradesh since 1991: A Statistical Analysis
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to explore the growth and instability of area, production, and yield under rice cultivation in Uttar Pradesh since 1991. The study was based on secondary data collected from various public resources. The entire study period was divided into three subperiods, i.e., subperiod I (1990–91 to 1999–2000), subperiod II (2000–01 to 2010–11), and subperiod III (2010–11 to 2020–21). The technique was used in compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and the Cuddy della Valle instability index has been calculated for rice crops. The study reveals that there was a sharp decline in CAGR during subperiod II and Instability was high in subperiod II. The study suggested that the specific varieties to suit the soil and climatic conditions so as to derive better yields.
