Fruit growing is one of the important and age old practices, practiced in India since ancient times. Cultivation of fruit crops plays an important role in overall status of the mankind and the nation. The standard of living of the people of a country is depending upon the production and per capita consumption of fruits. Most of the fruits are consumed as food in fresh and processed form. The importance of fruit production for the economic development of a country can be seen in its contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP) and employment through agriculture. Most less-developed countries depend on agriculture as a major source of income and employment. The trend in area, production and productivity of papaya was estimated by computing linear equation for the period of 2007-08 to 2016-17. The area of papaya increased from 1602 hectares in 2007-08 to 1889 hectares. In 2016-17 showing a tremendous increasing in the area of papaya, the production of papaya also increased from 32,144 metric tonnes in 2007-08 to 46,590 metric tonnes in 2016-17. The productivity of papaya varied from 20.06 to 24.66 tonnes per hectare during this period. The improvement in productivity was due to new improved variety of papaya, availability and inputs in the study area.
