The present study analyzes the trends and growth dynamics of groundnut and soybean in Chhattisgarh, focusing on their long-term price behaviour, market arrivals, and production performance. The objectives were to examine trends in arrivals and prices and to estimate the growth rates of area, production, and productivity. The analysis used secondary data covering 15 years (2008–2023) for area, production, and productivity, and 12 years (2013–2024) for arrivals and prices. Linear regression was used to capture time-based trends, while the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) method was employed to measure growth performance. The results indicated an inverse relationship between arrivals and prices for both crops. In Jashpur, groundnut arrivals declined from 67.23 tonnes in 2013 to 5.83 tonnes in 2024, while prices rose from ?2898.25 to ?4729.55, with arrivals decreasing at –18.95% annually and prices rising by 3.19%. For soybean, Kabirdham recorded a fall of -6.44% in arrivals and a price rise of 5.09%, whereas Rajnandgaon showed a -21.02% decline in arrivals and 5.23% growth in prices. Growth analysis further revealed that groundnut registered positive growth in area (4.45%) and production (4.75%) with stagnant productivity (0.08%), while soybean recorded negative growth in area (–5.25%) and production (–6.31%) with marginal decline in productivity (–1.12%). These findings highlight the supply-driven nature of price behaviour and the greater vulnerability of soybean compared to groundnut in Chhattisgarh.
