DOI:10.5958/0976-4666.2016.00021.8
Abstract:
A decreasing trend in groundnut acreage in India and major groundnut growing states has been observed which is more pronounced during the period 1990-91 to 1999-2000. The overall acreage and yield trend during the period 2000-01 to 2008-09 for the country is positive but marked with wide fluctuations. Comparing Eastern Indian states, West Bengal has shown brilliant performance in terms of area, production and yield growths though this state was witnessed of high level of instability during 1979 to 1990. It is revealed from the study that area change is the major component of change in groundnut production in Eastern Indian states.
