Abstract:
The present study was conducted to analyze the growth in area, production and productivity of wheat crop in India and Karnataka. The study was based on purely secondary data related to area, production and productivity of wheat crop, collected from various public sources especially; INDIASTAT website and Karnataka State Department of Agriculture for a period of 20 years, which was divided into two periods (10 years each); Period-I (2001-02 to 2010-11) and period-II (2011-12 to 2020-21). The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) technique was employed to evaluate trends in area, production and productivity. The results obtained from analysis indicated that, the CAGR for area, production and productivity of wheat crop in India during period-I was reported to be 1.34 percent, 2.55 percent and 1.20 percent, respectively and during period-II the corresponding figures were 0.20 percent, 1.74 percent and 1.55 percent. The growth rates were positively significant in both the periods. The study concluded with positive trend in all cases.
