The present study comprehensively examined the growth rates, instability and decomposition analysis of maize production in major Indian states. It covered a period of 40 years from 1980-81 to 2021-22, divided into two periods., The ten selected study states, namely Andhra Pradesh (inclusive of Telangana), Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh (inclusive of Chhattisgarh), Tamil Nadu, Bihar (inclusive of Jharkhand), Maharashtra, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh (inclusive of Uttarakhand) and Punjab together accounted for 93.3 per cent of India's maize production in TE 2021-22. The study provided valuable insights into maize cultivation in India, which can help policymakers, researchers and agricultural stakeholders make informed decisions to take necessary actions to enhance productivity, boost cultivation while reducing instability in agricultural production and meet the ever-growing domestic demand for maize.
