Abstract
The current study examined growth and instability in terms of area, production, and yield in India's leading sugarcane-growing states. The study used secondary time series data of the acreage, production, and yield for the main sugarcane-growing states in India from 1998-99 to 2018-19. The findings showed that the sugarcane area contributed more to output than yield. Production showed the highest level of instability, followed by area instability and yield. The highest LQ for sugarcane was observed in the state of erstwhile Uttar Pradesh, followed by Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. Since it was not significantly increasing sugarcane production, there is a need to adopt improvised techniques to boost yield.
