Abstract

Mungbean is mainly cultivated in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. It is the third important pulse crop of India grown in nearly 18 percent of the total pulse area. The paper delves into the current state of mungbean in India, examining the shift of the area of mungbean across zones and its underlying reasons. The study has been carried out based on secondary data and the data was collected for the period from 1970-71 to 2020- 21. Compound annual growth rate and instability index were computed. The results showed that mungbean area and production declined in the eastern zone but showed considerable growth in the southern zone. Production in all the major states increased with a positive growth rate except Odisha. In Odisha, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh areas have shown higher instability than productivity, but Karnataka, Maharashtra, and all of India’s productivity was found more unstable. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the adoption of conservation practices, harvesting of rainwater by creation of structures like farm ponds as well as to expand irrigation facilities to overcome variability in productivity.
