Oilseed crops are the second most important determinant of the agricultural economy, next only to cereals within the segment of field crops. Self-sufficiency in oilseeds was attained through “The Yellow Revolution” during the early 1990s and the major ones are soybean, groundnut, rapeseed-mustard, sesame, sunflower, castor, safflower, linseed and niger. Among the nine oilseed crops in India, the highest average contribution to total production of oilseeds is soybean followed by rapeseed & mustard and groundnut. Similarly, the highest average area contribution to the total oilseed area is of soybean (44%) followed by rapeseed & mustard (24%) and groundnut (20%). Against this backdrop, the present study attempts to employ the Nerlovian lagged adjustment function for significant oilseed crops in Rajasthan to estimate the degree of acreage/supply responsiveness analyses. For the study secondary data from 1997-98 to 2020-21 were collected to obtain the results of acreage responsiveness of oilseed crops like groundnut, rapeseed & mustard and soybean in Bikaner, Alwar and Baran districts respectively. |
