Abstract:
The growth and instability analysis of wheat in Santhal region was carried out keeping in view its importance in the region. It is also used as a cash crop by the farmers. The secondary data for 50 years i.e. from 1966 to 2015 was collected from different sources for the present study. The data was divided into the three sub-periods, namely sub-period I (1966-67 to 1982-83); sub-period II (1983-84 to 1999-2000) and sub-period III (2000-01 to 2015-16). The present study involves use of Cuddy-Della Valle Index and decomposition and multiple regression analysis to examine the effects on wheat productivity. Rural literacy and irrigation facility in the region are important determinants of wheat productivity. Decomposition analysis also indicated that market price of produce remain the governing factor for income enhancement of farmers in the region.
