Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important vegetable cum spice crop valued for its aroma, taste, flavor and pungency grown in all parts of world. It belongs to the family solanaceae with the chromosome number 2n=24 and centre of origin of hot chilli is Mexico. chilli is one of the most valuable spice crop than other spices. Chilli is cultivated largely for its fruit all over the India. It is used in India as a principle ingredient of various curries, and chutneys, it is also used for vegetables, spices, medicinal, condiments, sauces and pickles with great nutritional value. Majority of chilli grown in India is cultivated in states of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Orissa. Andhra Pradesh stands first in the list of foremost chilli producing states in India and also constitutes the highest areas for chilli cultivation in the country, occupies 49 per cent share in the Indian total production of chilli. The present study based on the secondary data, were collected from Horticultural statistics at glance-2018 and websites such like www.apeda.com, www.indiaspices.com and www.indiaagristat.com. Area, production and productivity data of chilli were obtained for 23 years from the year 1995-96 to 2017-18. To estimate the growth rate and instability in area, production and yield compound growth rate and Cuddy-Della Valle Instability Index was used. Analysis shows compound growth rate of area of chilli in India was negative and significant, whereas production and yield was positive and significant. Also observed that, area consist lower instability rate, were production as well as yield shows higher instability rate.
