    PRODUCTION. PRICE BEHAVIOUR AND EXPORT OF GROUNDNUT IN INDIA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO GUJARAT STATE -AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS RAMESH. B. LAKHANA ABSTRACT Dr. G. K. HIREMATH Major Advisor The Gujarat state ranks first in area and fourth in production with 1.8 million ha. area and 1.5 million tones of groundnut production, respectively. The study highlighted on growth rates in area, production and yield, cost and returns, seasonality arrivals and prices and also growth rate and direction of export of Indian groundnut. Various statistical techniques viz., exponential growth functions, markov chain analysis, orthogonal polynomial regression, moving averages and correlation analysis were employed to analyse the data to fulfill the objectives. During Pre-TMO period, growth rate in area was found to be positive and significant whereas, that of yield was negative. During post- TMO period, growth rates of area and yield were positive. It was mainly area led growth in groundnut costs and returns analysis revealed that groundnut was profitable in both Rajkot and Junagadh districts with net returns as Rs. 8859.04 and Rs. 4853.64, respectively. Growth rate of groundnut export was found to be positive for almost all the countries except U.K. and Others. Transitional probability Matrix showed that the Indian groundnut export is concentrated in Asian markets only. Malaysia and Indonesia were found to be loyal for Indian groundnut. A continuous upward trend was observed in prices, while arrivals exhibited upward and downward trend. Higher market arrivals and lower prices were observed immediately after harvest of the crop. There was a strong integration among the selected markets. It was concluded that production and export of groundnut could be improved by judicious use of available water, maintaining international quality standards and proper ware housing facilities linked with credit facilities.
