Indian agriculture is said to be gambling with monsoon. Production of crops fluctuates between seasons depending on the uncertainty of monsoon and markets. The world area, production and productivity in terms of CAGR during reference period was 0.93,3.70 and 1.80 per cent respectively. While in India it was -0.45, 0.80 and 1.10 per cent. Further in Karnataka state the CAGR was 1.19,1.57, and 1.18 per cent and Kolar district CAGR indicates -7.10,-9.80, -2.30,per cent respectively. Thus implies that there is negative growth rate in Kolar district (Table-1). This instability in area, production and productivity causes fluctuation in market supply. A fluctuating supply with more or less steady demand for goods, result in wide fluctuations in prices ofagricultural commodities. During the reference period 2000-01 to 2012-13, the study analysed the area, production and productivity of paddy in Bangarpet taluk has continuously decreased at a growth rate of0.94,0.80, and -0.14 per cent respectively.
