The paper describes an empirical study of modeling and forecasting time series data of tobacco production in India. Yearly tobacco production data for the period of 1950-1951 to 2014-2015 of India were analyzed by time-series methods. Autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation functions were calculated for the data. The Box Jenkins ARIMA methodology has been used for forecasting. The diagnostic checking has shown that ARIMA (1, 1, 1) is appropriate. The forecasts from 2015-2016 to 2019-2020 are calculated based on the selected model. The forecasting power of autoregressive integrated moving average model was used to forecast tobacco production for five leading years. These forecasts would be helpful for the policy makers to foresee ahead of time the future requirements of tobacco production, import and/or export and adopt appropriate measures in this regard.

Autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation functions were calculated for the data. The Box Jenkins ARIMA methodology has been used for forecasting. The diagnostic checking has shown that ARIMA (1, 1, 1) is appropriate. The forecasts from 2015-2016 to 2019-2020 are calculated based on the selected model. The forecasting power of autoregressive integrated moving average model was used to forecast tobacco production for five leading years.
