In Indian agriculture, food grain crops cover the dominant part of cropped area (65 per cent). India is continuously facing pressure on the demand side due to limited land availability, steady population growth and several other production constraints, which appear as obstacles for supply of food grains. In the present study, growth in area, production and productivity of food grains were estimated using the linear trend and compound growth function. To analyze performance of food grain production it is categorized into Pre- liberalization period (1960-61 to 1989-90) and post-liberalization period (1991-92 to 2019-20). It has revealed that post liberalization period has been characterized by decline in the growth rate of area, production and productivity of major staple food grains (rice and wheat) whereas, growth rate of area, production and productivity of coarse cereals and pulses increased after liberalization when compared to pre liberalization period. In the overall period, the compound growth rate of area, production and productivity of total food grains was 0.01 per cent, 0.98 per cent and 0.97 per cent respectively. Further, it was found that there was a decline in area while the production and productivity had increased to a considerable extent in the overall period.
