Abstract:
For analysis of the acreage response function of the oilseed crops in Rajasthan, the current study was conducted from 2000-01 to 2019-20. Four major oilseed crops mainly Groundnut, Sesamum, Soybean and Rapeseed & Mustard were considered for the analysis. Acreage response function revealed that area under irrigation and better price in the previous year were the deciding factors for current acreage under groundnut while area under cultivation in the previous year was the major deciding factor for Sesamum. In Soybean, better price and yield in previous year were the deciding factors while the area under cultivation in previous year, area under irrigation and price were the major deciding factors for current acreage of Rapeseed and Mustard in Rajasthan.
