Rice (Oryza sativa L.) and Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are important constituents of Indian agriculture and nutritional security due to their high yield, economic viability, ability to generate on-farm and off-farm employment so this makes it one of the most important cereal crops in India main source of vitamins and minerals such as thiamine, niacin, iron, riboflavin, vitamin D, calcium, and fiber. Wheat covers approximately 25% of the total global area devoted to by cereal crops India is the world’s 2nd largest producer with approximately 43 mha planted area, accounting for 22% of the world’s rice production. Since the consumption of rice is directly proportional to the population growth. Feeding burgeoning population through the next 20-30 years remains a challenging task. Increasing domestic demand owing to population growth should meet the future challenges of food and nutritional security. On this prospective for the planning purposes decision to invest accordingly for the short and long-term plans, the present study has been undertaken to evaluate the growth in production, area and productivity of Rice and Wheat crops in Top 5 Rice-Wheat Producing districts of Western Uttar Pradesh, India by using tabular analysis and different growth models.
