Abstract: The present study entitled “Decomposition analysis and Acreage Response of Soybean in Amravati Division” was undertaken to study the growth rate and instability of area, production and productivity, decomposition of output growth, acreage response and price elasticity of selected crop i.e. Soybean in Amravati division and data pertained for the year 1988-89 to 2017-18 for the districts viz., Buldhana, Akola, Amravati, Yavatmal and Amravati Division as a whole. The study was based on time series secondary data on area, production, productivity, farm harvest prices, rainfall and other relevant data of selected crops were collected from the various Government publications. The study revealed that the Compound growth rate for area and production under soybean was recorded high during period I in all the districts. During period II, the production of soybean registered mostly high growth rates in all the districts. During period III, the compound growth rate for area, production and productivity under soybean was found mostly decreased compare to period I and II of Amravati division of Maharashtra for the study period. The instability in the area, production and productivity of soybean was observed in almost all districts in the Amravati division. It may be because the crop largely depends on vagaries of nature which causes heavy losses. The Percent contribution of area effect was more responsible for soybean production in all the districts in all periods except period III. Therefore it is necessary to increase the sustainable soybean production in state and to take up productivity enhancing measures in soybean crop like varietal improvement, appropriate technologies. The lagged acreage variable was found significant in all the districts of Amravati Division mostly with one percent level of significance. The current year acreage was less influenced by farm harvest prices of soybean in all the districts. One year lagged yield had some impact to area allocation of Soybean in all the districts of Amravati division. Most of the long run price elasticities were greater than short run elasticities in soybean indicating that farmers were relatively market oriented in their decisions in long run than in short run.
