Abstract

Cotton is often referred as ‘King’ of fiber crop and also called as ‘White Gold’. It is one of important commercial crop. Cotton servers as a raw material to textile industries and over the years India had gained competitive increase in its production. Therefore, to know the ground situation of cotton in major cotton growing states, the present study was conducted with major objectives as growth and decomposition analysis. The secondary data were collected from various authentic websites and publications pertaining to 30 years starting from 1989-90 to 2018-19. The collected data was then further analysed using exponential function, Cuddy Della Valle’s Instability Index and Minhas Decomposition Model. The results revealed that, the growth rate of major cotton growing states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana had positive and significant growth for area, production and yield during overall study period. The growth of area, production and yield of major cotton growing states were moderately unstable except Andhra Pradesh where, high instability was observed for area (44.33 per cent), production (48.99 per cent) and moderate instability was observed for yield (18.02 per cent). Among the major cotton growing states, except Gujarat, in all other states area played a driving role in changing cotton production. In Gujarat area played a dominant role for change in the cotton production.
