The study focused on assessing the acreage response of chickpea to price and non-price factors in Gujarat. The analysis aimed to determine how farmers allocate acreage and production in response to price and non-price factors. The study used time series secondary data from 1995-96 to 2022-23 for districts including Junagadh, Rajkot, Jamnagar, and Ahmedabad. The Nerlovian Partial Adjustment Model (1956) was employed to analyze the acreage response. Results showed that lagged price had a positive and significant effect in Rajkot (0.09) and Jamnagar (0.06) districts. Factors such as lagged area, lagged price, price risk, and yield risk played a significant role in chickpea acreage response. Short-run and long-run elasticities were mostly found to be inelastic, with short-run price elasticity positively significant in Rajkot district (1.32). Long-run price elasticities were more elastic in every district compared to short -run elasticity.
