The study has analyzed trends and prospects of citrus crop in Sirsa district and Haryana state. The study was based on secondary data collected for a period from 1990–91 to 2018–19. The compound growth rate, mean, co-efficient of variation, and ARIMA model were employed to calculate the results of the study. The fluctuated trends were observed in area, production, and productivity of citrus crop in Sirsa district and Haryana state. The third decade has shown a better result in Sirsa district and Haryana state. The study also revealed that the area’s growth rate will be positive, and growth rate of production and productivity of citrus crop in Sirsa will be negative. The compound growth rate of area, production and productivity of citrus crop in Haryana will be 3.20%, 7.00% and 3.70%, respectively. Further, the production and productivity growth rate will be greater in Haryana compared to district Sirsa. In contrast, the area growth rate in district Sirsa will be higher than in Haryana.
