Growth and instability in area, production and yield of Papaya at all India level was estimated. The growth rate was estimated with the help of exponential functions. The parameter of function was estimated by Marquardt algorithm. Instability was assessed with the help of exponential CDI. The data were collected from the year 1996-97 to 2017-18. The results showed that, the area, production and yield of Papaya at all India level were shown significant positive growth. The instability in production of Papaya was more compared to area and yield. Technological and extension efforts need to stabilize the production of Papaya at all India level.
