Cumin production of Rajasthan and Jodhpur were kept a dominant position in Seed spices economy of the country. This study was attempt to present the comparative performance of cumin in Rajasthan and Jodhpur. For drawing a meaningful termination of Agri-Export Zones on cumin production in Rajasthan, the selected study period from 1991–92 to 2018–19 was divided into three sub-periods as Ex-ante Agri-Export Zone (1991–92 to 2004–05), Ex-post Agri-Export Zone (2005–06 to 2018–19) and overall study period (1991–92 to 2018–19). The results of the growth analysis revealed that area, yield and production of cumin in Jodhpur was increased faster than Rajasthan and period-I. In case of instability, the production and yield of this crop in period-II were more instable than other two periods in Rajasthan and Jodhpur. The introduction of high yielding varieties has boosted up production Rajasthan especially in Jodhpur. During period-I the growth of output was contributed mainly due to increasing area under the crop. However, in period-II development of high yielding varieties have positive and significant effect on expanding production in Jodhpur and Rajasthan.
Highlights
The area, production and productivity of cumin in Jodhpur was mounted up higher than Rajasthan.
The production and yield of cumin was highly instable in period-II (2005–06 to 2018–19).
