Abstract:
In this paper an attempt has been made to examine the trends, patterns and levels of vegetable production in India. The work is based on secondary sources of data procured from different government publications, websites and offices. The trend of vegetable production in India during last six decades (1961-2017) has been analysed using simple statistical techniques. To observe the decadal as well as yearly variation in the area, production and productivity of vegetables the CAGR and AAGR have been calculated. Maps and diagrams are used for the better visualization of the facts. The study reveals that India achieved tremendous growth in all three dimensions (area, production and productivity) of vegetables after 1991. The country has progress a lot on the productivity but still have to work hard to reach the global level.
