Abstract
The study was conducted with the aim to know the growth performance of
apple production in different districts of Himachal Pradesh. The objectives of
the study are to study the growth trends and instability in the area,
production and productivity of apple fruit in Himachal Pradesh and to examine
the relative share of area and productivity of apple production in Himachal
Pradesh. To fulfill the objectives of the study secondary data of 10 years was
utilized for analysis using the statistical tools like Compound Annual Growth
Rates (CAGR), Coefficient of Variation (CV), Cuddy Della Valle’s Instability
Index (CDVI) and Decomposition Analysis model. The study revealed that the
growth rates of area, production and productivity of apple crops among the
districts of Himachal Pradesh had a fluctuating trend during the study periods.
The compound growth rate for area, production and productivity during the years
2012-13 to 2021-22 has been estimated at 0.85, (-) 0.64 and (-) 1.48 percent
per annum, respectively. The coefficient of variation in the area, production
and productivity far apple crop during the study period has been estimated at
2.60, 26.14 and 26.63 percent, respectively. The value of CDVI (0.61%) came in
the range of 0-15 percent which confirm low level of instability in the area
under apple crop in Himachal Pradesh. The value of CDVI (27.65 and 27.85%) came
in the range of 15-30 percent which confirms medium level of instability in the
production and productivity under apple crop in Himachal Pradesh. There was low
level of instability in the growth rates of area among all the districts of
Himachal Pradesh. Area effect played the key role in the differentiation of
apple production in Himachal Pradesh.
