Growth Performance of Major Food-Grain (Wheat, Rice and Gram) In Uttar Pradesh: An Economic Analysis

Abstract

Growth analysis is commonly used throughout time to determine the trend of a certain variable and utilized in economic research to make policy choices. The exponential function predicted the compound increase in area, production, and yield of main food grains in Uttar Pradesh. Secondary data were gathered during a 70-year era, from 1950-51 to 2018-19. In Uttar Pradesh, growth in the area, production, and yield of main food grains such as rice and wheat were positive and substantial from 1950 to 2019. However, the rice area grew at a little negative pace. Wheat was discovered to be one of the most popular crops among major food grains, with the largest yearly growth in area, production, and yield. However, efforts should be made to rise the area under other major food grains (rice, wheat) with high-quality seeds of improved varieties, improved food grain production technology, price, marketing support, and effective extension mechanization to boost productivity of major food grains.
