Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
The present study aims at analysing the district level growth and instability of oilseeds with special emphasis on groundnut in the state of Odisha, taking two time periods 1995-96 to 2004-05 and 2005-06 to 2014-15. The study is based upon secondary time series data collected from various issues of Odisha Agriculture Statistics, published by Directorate of Agriculture and food production, Odisha. Groundnut continues to dominate the oilseed production in the state with a contribution of more than 2/3rd of the total oilseeds production. The 1st decadal period had experienced overall negative growth of groundnut and total oilseed production. The 2nd decadal period has witnessed remarkable improvement in the growth of groundnut and oilseeds production in the state and also across the districts. However there are 9 districts with negative growth rate in the 2nd decadal period. The instability in the production of groundnut and total oilseeds have experienced much improvement in the 2nd decadal period. However 13 districts had high level of instability during the 2nd decadal period. These districts need special attention from the agricultural extension machinery of the state. The study has identified cluster of low, moderate and high instability districts. Cluster specific strategic interventions might be useful to harness the optimum potential of the state for sustainable oilseed production in the state.
