Trend and growth rate in area, production and productivity of papaya in the Chhattisgarh plain zone
Abstract
Papaya (Carica papaya) is a significant horticultural fruit crop cultivated both in household kitchen gardens and commercially throughout India. Papaya holds great economic and nutritional importance. The present study was confined to the Chhattisgarh Plains agroclimatic zone of Chhattisgarh. There are 11 districts in the selected region namely Raipur, Bilaspur, Janjgir, Korba, Raigarh Mahasamund, Durg, Kanker, Dhamtari Kabirdham, and Rajnandgaon. these districts were chosen purposefully for the study. The Chhattisgarh plain zone showed positive trends in papaya cultivation. Area-wise, most districts recorded significant increases, with an annual rise of 457 ha and an SGR of 3.63%. In terms of production, districts like Raigarh, Janjgir, and Durg showed strong growth, with a significant annual increase of 15,614.55 metric tonnes and a 4.93% SGR. Productivity also improved in most districts, with a yearly rise of 343.04 kg/ha and an SGR of 1.37%, despite declines in a few areas.

Trend and growth rate in area, production and productivity of papaya in the Chhattisgarh Plain zone
This section has presented the outcome of the analysis of trends and percent growth rate of area, production and productivity of papaya crop in linear forms, using statistical tools such as linear equation and simple growth rate (SGR). The time series data has been fitted district by district to give an idea regarding the direction and rate of change in papaya area, production and productivity. Regression coefficient and SGR values are calculated and are presented in tabular form and explained under the following subhead:
Area
The trend coefficient and simple growth rate of the area of papaya in different districts of the Chhattisgarh plain zone of the state have been calculated, under the heading area: Regarding Raigarh district, the value of the trend coefficient (20.84) was positive and significant at a 1% level of significance. The SGR value (6.60%) was also positive, which shows that the Papaya area has increased during the period of study. In the Bilaspur district, the value of the regression coefficient (44.84) was positive but nonsignificant and the SGR value (2.06%) was also positive, i.e., the area of papaya shows increasing trends. Kabirdham district has shown an increasing trend in the area of papaya, at the rate of 10.97 percent and the trend coefficient (25.76) value was positive and significant at 1% level of significance.
In the case of Janjgir district, papaya area has positive and highly significant (1%) regression coefficient value (12.50) and SGR value (1.71%) was found positive, i.e., area of the papaya shows increasing trends. Regarding Mahasamund district, the value of trend coefficient (75.50) was positive and significant at 5% level of significance.

The present study examines the disposal pattern, marketing channels, price spread, producer’s share in consumer’s rupee, and constraints in production and marketing of papaya across different farm sizes. The findings reveal that marketable surplus increases with farm size, reaching 1617.77 quintals per farm on large holdings, while home consumption decreases proportionately. Overall, 99.60% of production was marketed, indicating strong commercialization.
