Paddy is the important, food grain, cereal crop, and staple food crop of India. India ranks second in production of paddy after China. This establishes the pressing need for the study of vulnerability and trend of paddy cultivation and productivity in India. Andhra Pradesh being one of the largest producers of paddy, the compound growth rate and instability in area, productivity and production of paddy in Andhra Pradesh was assessed after the remainder of the state of undivided Andhra Pradesh after bifurcation in 2014 with the jurisdiction of four Rayalaseema and nine Coastal Andhra districts. In this study, we have analyzed the trend & carried out instability index analysis in paddy crop area, productivity and production across district of Andhra Pradesh to explicate the trend in extent paddy cultivation and paddy productivity, district wise Cuddy-Della Valle-Instability Index (%) for the paddy cultivating area from 1991-92 to 2018-19, using the data collected from Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Andhra Pradesh. We assessed district wise Cuddy-Della Valle-Instability Index (%) in paddy productivity from 1991-92 to 2018-19 and found that in Andhra Pradesh, the area of paddy cultivation, paddy productivity output has changed in the study area over the time. Between 1991-92 and 2018-19, the overall paddy growth rate of the area showed a decline of 0.5%. And growth rate of paddy productivity was 1.31% while the increase of production was 0.74%, which can be attributed to the negative impacts arising out of changing weather patterns.

The state of Odisha having an agrarian based economy depends largely on agriculture for the livelihood of its population. Food grains are important commodity of crop groups that provide high quality carbohydrates, protein and vitamins. A study on the compound growth rate of area, yield and production of food grains for kharif season in the districts of Odisha and the state as a whole has been attempted in the present study which would be helpful in visualizing the progress of the state with respect to food grain cultivation and proper framing of agricultural policies of the state. The study is based secondary data for the period of 1993-94 to 2017-18 to estimate the compound growth rate and Cuddy-Della Instability Index of area, yield and production of kharif food grains for the districts and the state as a whole. The districts are ranked on the basis of compound growth rate and Cuddy-Della Instability Index in decreasing order and increasing order of their magnitudes respectively. The rank correlation between Compound Growth Rate and Cuddy-Della Instability Index of area, yield and production of food grains during kharif seasons are studied. It is found that despite negative growth rate in area, the positive compound growth rate of yield leads to positive compound growth rate in production of kharif food grains of Odisha. Also it is found that despite stability of area, the instability of yield leads to instability in production of kharif food grains in the state of Odisha.

The present study for comparison of aromatic crop tulsi (Ocimum basilicum) and cereal crop paddy (Orzya sativa) cultivation has been carried out at farmers’ field of Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh. The tulsi is an essential oil bearing plant. Oil of this plant is highly valuable and is used in flavour, cosmetic and pharmaceuticals industry. Paddy has been cultivated in our country as a major food grain crop since long time. During the study period 50 farmers under cultivating tulsi and paddy has been selected from Sitapur District of Uttar Pradesh. The primary data were collected from the selected farmer’s field on profitability comparison between tulsi and paddy cultivation. Simple statistical tools and technique has been used for data analysis of the socio-economic profile, cost of cultivation, profitability. It has been observed during the study that tulsi gives higher returns over paddy. However, the input cost of paddy is higher than tulsi crop but the net return of tulsi was more profitable than paddy. The benefit cost ratio has been observed 2.70 and 1.34 of tulsi and paddy respectively. It is suggested from the study that maximum profit is generated through tulsi cultivation followed by paddy crop. This study can set an example of profitability model for entrepreneurship development in other part of country.

The growth of agriculture and allied sectors is critical for the Indian economy as about 49 percent of the population is directly or indirectly dependent on agriculture. During the last decade and so, the agriculture sector has undergone profound changes resulting in sharp deceleration in its growth. The study has attempted to analyze growth and performance of the agriculture sector in India since 1980-81 and tries to comprehend some of the factors responsible for the deceleration in growth. The study has shown that agriculture sector has been able to show tremendous improvement in expansion of area and production of food grain and non-food grain crops. However, there are so many underlying factors responsible for slowdown of the agricultural growth. Some of the factors identified include: Increase in area under non-agriculture uses, excessive dependence on rain fed farming, increase in number of agricultural labourers, reducing size of the operation holdings, over use of agri-inputs, inequity in the distribution of agriculture credit along with sharp deceleration in public gross capital formation in agriculture etc. The study pointed in order to achieve higher growth rate, there is a need to enhance the gross capital formation in agriculture sector particularly on irrigation so that more area can be brought under assured irrigation. Bringing equity in distribution of agricultural credit coupled with judicious and need-based agricultural inputs are some of the other recommendations drawn based upon the study.

In the present study, an attempt is made to estimate the area under paddy crop during Rabi, 2013-14 using Microwave satellite data in the eastern part of Godavari delta. Clouds veil nearly the entire sky in both (Kharif & Rabi) seasons of Andhra Pradesh and hinder the estimation of crop acreage through optical satellite sensors. Microwaves can penetrate clouds and be used to detect crops during the day and night, regardless of cloud cover. Radar Imaging SATellite-1 (RISAT-1), microwave sensor, dual-polarization Horizontal-Horizontal (HH), Horizontal-Vertical (HV), Medium Resolution scanSAR Mode (MRS) data (18 m pixel spacing and 37° incidence angle) of three different dates (in December, January, and February) with 25 days interval was used. The backscatter (dB) values of the early, mid, and late-season transplanted stages of paddy crop were used to estimate the paddy crop acreage coupled with ground truth information during different stages of the crop. It was observed that the dB values at the transplanting stage rapidly increased with plant growth in the early season sown areas and mid-season sowed paddy illustrate a dip in dB values in the second date due to change in transplantation and increased backscatter coefficient values in the third date because of crop growth after transplantation. The backscatter signature value of late sowing paddy crop showed first and second dates with high backscatter due to previous crop/vegetation and then a sudden dip in the third date as submerged field ready for transplantation. The dB values of the above stages were used in decision-based classifier to estimate paddy crop acreage. The paddy area was compared at Mandal (sub-district level) estimates observed the significant coefficient of determination (R² = 0.89) between traditional estimates and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data assessment. This study robustly suggests the utilization of SAR data in agricultural crop monitoring during cloud cover.

Social and economic development throughout India is frequently interrupted by extreme events. The Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh is particularly vulnerable to natural disasters, thus to social and economic losses. Although disaster events impact this region, in the latter, they can cause a sharp increase in poverty. As disasters pose an important hurdle to the development of this coastal area, it is important to assess their global, regional, economic, and social impacts. Most economic assessments of the impacts of disasters have concentrated on direct losses that is, the nancial cost of physical damage. Equally important are indirect and secondary impacts of disasters, including the destruction of communities and their negative impacts on families. It is expected that concerted action on risk management will help create an increased awareness of the economy wide signicance of natural disasters and the problems they pose for long term development. Accordingly, this growing awareness will lead to an increased resilience in the selected area.

This study explored historical food availability/supply and the market demand for food. Secondary data was used for analyzing demand-supply gap. The average growth in rice production was 2.9% per year in 1971/72 to 2008/09, of which 93% was contributed by yield growth. The overall growth rate of area under food grain was 0.3% in 1971/72 to 2008/09. The overall food grain production growth rate is higher than population growth rate from 1971/72 to 2008/09. The own price and income elasticities of rice were -0.108 and 0.199 respectively. It was projected that upto 2021, the annual demand for food exceed the supply of food which were -0.28% for rice and -1.76% for wheat. That implies the demands are greater than the supplies for both crops. Keywords: Food supply and demand; Price and income elasticities DOI: 10.3329/jbau.v8i1.6405J. Bangladesh Agril.

This paper investigates the trends in area, production and yield of major pulses in India by using component growth rate, Instability index and decomposition analysis during last twenty years. Further the study period has been divided into three periods based on the implantation of NFSM: Pre NFSM period I (1995 to 2006), Post NFSM period II (2007 to 2016) and Overall period (1995 to 2017). The result of CGR in total pulses revealed that the area (1.87%), production (3.58%) and yield (1.89%) registered highly positive significance with increased growth in period II. The yield growth rate was higher than area growth rate implying that the area allocation under pulses is increasing poorly even after NFSM scheme, while improvement in yield is there. The instability of total pulses production and productivity has first decreased and then increased in the overall period its shows increased growth. Among the major crops, the area effect was high in lentil production and by yield effect was high in gram production and the interaction effect was high in moong production during the overall study period. In case of total pulses, area and yield effects were positively higher and they were responsible for total pulses production.
