Growth, Instability and Decomposition in Area, Production, and Productivity of Horticultural Crops in North-East India

摘要

Growth and instability in the area, production, and productivity of total horticultural crops have always been the subject of intense debate. In this study, trends in the growth and instability of horticultural crops in India for the last 15 years, from 2003-04 to 2017-18, have been examined. In agriculture, instability is a very aspect that indicates the variation in data. Indian agriculture is primarily dependent on the monsoon. If the monsoon fails, Indian agriculture faces significant loss and variations, especially in production over time. Cuddy Della Valle Index has been used for estimating instability in the area, production, and productivity of horticultural crops. Several fluctuations in the growth pattern and instability of the area, production, and productivity of the crops in north-eastern states over the period were observed in the study. Production of horticulture crops increased in the northeastern state due to an increase in area.
