Time trend analysis of area of linseed shows that the area is decreasing at an alarming rate in all the major linseed growing districts including Raipur (@1812/yr; R = 0.85**), Rajnandgaon (@849/yr; R = 0.72**), Bilaspur (@824/yr; R = 0.78**), and Durg (@348/yr; R = 0.32), however decreasing area in Durg is not statistically significant. The reason being that in Chhattisgarh linseed crop is cultivated under utera cultivation under rice based rainfed cropping. The area in Raigarh (R = 0.87**) and Surguja (R = 0.83**) districts is increasing but these districts are not important as far as linseed area is concerned. The under Bastar district showed no sign of change. The production of linseed positively increased in Raigarh (R=0.80**), Bastar (R = 0.52**) and Surguja (R = 0.44*) districts due to increased area in these districts. Whereas, there is decreasing trend in Raipur (R = 0.38*) and Bilaspur (R = 0.05). The districts of Durg (R = 0.27) and Rajnandgaon (R= 0.14) also show increasing production trend, which is non-significant.
