Abstract

The analysis of growth is usually used in economic studies to find out the trend of a particular variable over a period of time and used for making policy decisions. The necessary secondary data were collected for a period of 26 years from 1982-83 to 2007-08. The growth in the area, production and productivity under different crops were estimated using the compound growth function.Growth rates showed a significant positive growth in area under pulses, vegetables and spices and fruits and nuts while cereals showed significant negative growth. The area under jowar, bajra, ragi and minor millets were experiencing a substantial annual decrement. The area under rice has recorded a mild annual increment.The growth in area under oilseeds and commercial crops was negative and insignificant. Similarly, the production of cereals, pulses, vegetables and fruits showed a significant positive growth rate. The production of oilseeds and commercial crops registered insignificant positive growth. The productivity of different crops registered significant growth in the case of cereals, pulses and fruits. Productivity of oilseeds recorded moderately significant positive growth. The productivity of commercial crops registered insignificant positive growth and for vegetables, the growth in productivity was insignificant and negative.

Abstract

Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the important commercial crops of India. It is a crop of tropical and sub-tropical regions and requires a warm humid climate. Chillies exports from India are mostly to Sri Lanka, USA, Nepal, Mexico and Bangladesh. Among these countries, USA, Sri Lanka and Mexico are the major buyers for Indian chillies. It is worth noting that the growth rate in export of chilli is increasing over a period on one hand and export competitive on the other. The quantity of chilli exports grew annually by 14.32 per cent, export value by 23.16 per cent and unit value by 8.41 per cent. Thus, country has a comparative advantage in the export of chili and this can be achieved with the concerted efforts of government by developing transport facilities to export the chilli.
