Abstract:
The present analysis was undertaken to estimate the growth and instability of area, production and productivity of acid lime in India and Maharashtra. The Compound Annual Growth rate and Cuddy Della Vella Index was used to estimate growth of instability of Acid Lime. The growth rate of area, production and productivity in India was increased positively. The production of acid lime was increased due to both area expansion and productivity improvement for districts viz. Nanded, Amaravati, Yavatmal, Nagpur and Gadchiroli. The production of acid lime was increased due to area expansion in the districts of Jalgaon and Aurangabad. In case of Osmanabad, Gondia and Buldhana districts growth rates of production was positive and significant only due to improvement in productivity. In Maharashtra the area and production of acid lime was highly instable. So, government needs to allocate the substantial funds for public research to stabilize the area and production of Acid lime fruit crop. In India the growth rates of area, production and productivity of acid lime was positive and significant. However, the production of acid lime was increased mainly due to the area expansion and very little due to the production improvement.
