Abstract:
Oilseed sector plays an important role in the Indian agricultural sector covering an area of about 24507.90 thousand hectares, with total production of over 31459.30 thousand tons during 2017-18. The study tried to analyse the growth of groundnut in its major producing states. Exponential growth function had been fitted for estimating compound annual growth rates in area, production and productivity of groundnut in major states during the period from 1970-71 to 2017-18 which was further divided on the basis of Technology Mission of Oilseeds as Pre TMO period from 1970-71 to 1985-86, TMO I from 1986-87 to 2001-02, TMO II from 2002-03 to 2017-18, overall TMO from 1986-87 to 2017-18 and overall period of study 1970-71 to 2017-18.
