Abstract :

India occupied second position in term of production of onion in the world.

Keeping in view the importance of this crop, the present study has been undertaken to find out the growth rate of area, production and productivity of onion crop in Andhra Pradesh. Time series data on onion crop area, production and Productivity in Andhra Pradesh (1992–93 to 2011–12) has been utilized for the present study. In this study the simple statistical tools adopted.
