Abstract:
Cotton is an important principal commercial fibre crop. It is one of the most leading and important cash crops in Indian economy. In the present study an attempt has been made using secondary data for forty six years (from 1970 to 2016) to understand the forecast in production of cotton crop in Dharwad, Ballari and Raichur districts of Karnataka. The results revealed that, ARIMA (2, 1, 2) model was appropriate for both Dharwad and Ballari districts while, ARIMA (1, 1, 1) model was found to be most suitable for forecasting production of cotton in Raichur district.
