This study was based on secondary data taken from the period 2001-2002 to 2021-2022. The study period was divided into three sub period i.e., period-I (2001-2010), period-II (2011-2022) overall period (2001-2022). The compound growth rate of area, production and productivity was calculated at the Indian level as well in Uttar Pradesh and found that In India the growth rate was 1.94 percent, 2.14 percent and 0.19 percent in area, production and productivity respectively. The compound annual growth rate in Uttar Pradesh was estimated under area, production and productivity are 8.53 percent, 9.62 percent and 1.00 percent respectively.
