Abstract: The present study “Statewise performance of Jowar in India” was undertaken to examine the growth pattern of area, production, productivity and cost of cultivation. The data were collected on area, production, productivity and cost of cultivation of jowar grown in India pertaining to the period from 2001-02 to 2020-21 (20 years) was spilt into sub-periods i.e. period I 2001-02 to 2010-11 and period II: 2011-12 to 2020-21 and Overall: 2001-02 to 2020-21. The state wise analysis was carried out for the period I, period II and overall. The results showed that, during period I, all jowar-growing states, except Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan, experienced negative compound growth rates in area. In period II, all states showed negative growth rates, and except for Tamil Nadu, all states remained negative throughout the overall period. At overall level the compound growth rate of area of jowar was highest in Tamil Nadu. The compound growth rate of production and productivity was highest in Rajasthan. The compound growth rate of cost of cultivation was positive for all the jowar growing states. The highest coefficient of variation for area, production and productivity was observed in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan respectively. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu recorded the highest values for Cost A1, Cost B2 and cost of production. Rajasthan exhibited the highest coefficient of variation for Cost C2. The highest Cuddy Della Valle instability index for area was observed in Karnataka, production and productivity was observed in Rajasthan. Whereas, cost of cultivation of jowar includes Cost A1, Cost B2, and Cost C2 was highest in Rajasthan. The highest CDVI of cost of production was recorded by Tamil Nadu.
