Abstract

The nutrient rich millet crops are cultivated in marginal and poor soil as rainfed crop in India.Millets are rich in proteins, and minerals like Zinc, Iron and Phytochemicals, because of it rich nutrient status it’s called as Nutri-cereals. The market demand on millets in increasing day by day. So, this study focussed on the growth performance and instability in area, production and productivity. This study considered the period from 1990 to 2021. The secondary data like area, production and productivity were collected from various publications like APEDA, Agriculture StatisticsHandbook and India Stat. Over the entire period the area, production and productivity showed a decreasing trend. The estimated CDVI (Cuddy-Della Valle Index) value revealed that the production of millets had high instability while the area had the lowest instability. Hence the government should create awareness among the farmers and consumers.
