    Abstract

    Paddy is the dominant staple crop in the state of Odisha in India. Groundnut, sesame, mustard and niger are the major oilseed crops cultivated in the state. Groundnut occupied about 34% of total oilseed area and contributed more than 68% of total oilseeds production during the triennium ending (TE) 2017-18. The area under groundnut declined from 318,000 ha to 210,000 ha between TE 1995-96 and 2017-18 (25 years) (Behura et al 2014, Odisha Agricultural Statistics - various issues. https://agriodisha.nic.in/Home/staticstics). It has registered a negative growth rate (cropped area) of 0.93% per annum. Production too declined from 466,000 tons to 374,000 tons during the same period. However, groundnut productivity saw an uptrend from 1465 kg/ha to 1783 kg/ha due to the introduction of modern high-yielding varieties. Figure 1 shows the trends in area, production and productivity of groundnut in the state.
