Abstract:
The study was conducted with the aim to know the growth performance of sugarcane in India. The objectives of the study were to analyse the growth and instability of sugarcane in India and to estimate the decomposition analysis of sugarcane in India. To fulfill the objectives secondary data of 30 years was utilized for analysis using the statistical tools like Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGR), Coefficient of Variation (CV), Coppock’s Instability Index (CII), Cuddy Della Valle’s Instability Index (CDVI) and Decomposition Analysis model. The study period was divided into three sub-periods for better understanding. The study revealed that the area, production and productivity of sugarcane had a positive growth during all the study periods. The growth rates after period I were found to be increasing in a decreasing rate. There was stability in the growth rates of area, production and productivity during all the study periods. Area effect played the key role in the differentiation of sugarcane production in India.
