The present paper examines growth and trend pattern analysis of jackfruit production in some selected districts of Kerala in India. The analysis is carried out by fitting statistical models, viz. linear and exponential models. The time series data on jackfruit during 2009–2018 is used for the analysis. The trend values have been obtained by fitting the respective models, and the validity of the models has been tested by using the Chi-square test statistic. It is revealed from the study that both models are valid for analyzing the growth and trend patterns of jackfruit production in the concerned districts. Moreover, the coefficient of determination is also computed to judge the suitability of the concerned models.
