The present study was carried out to estimate the trend and growth of area, production & yield as well as to measure the contribution of area, yield and their interaction effect on production of small millets in Madhya Pradesh and India during the period 2001 to 2015. It is observed from the study that the area and production of small millets was found to be decreased with 7.05 & 1.35 and 5.41 & 2.32 percent per year while the productivity was found to be increased by 6.13 and 3.37 percent per year in Madhya and India respectively. The study revealed that the interaction effect (1495.16%) of area & yield followed by area effect (1225.13 %) were found to be major contributor towards decrease in production of small millets in Madhya Pradesh. The yield effect (-2620.29%) was found to be negative which showed that the yield was not found to be responsible for decrease in production of small millets in Madhya Pradesh. The area and its interaction effect with yield were found to be responsible for decrease in production of small millets in Madhya Pradesh. The similar finding was also found in case of India, area effect (211.96%) followed by interaction effect of area & yield (105.51%) were found to be major contributor for decrease in production of small millets. Thus there is an urgent need to ensure timely supply of adequate quantity of true to type seed materials with high seed quality standards at farmers’ doorsteps for increasing production of small millets. Major initiative like “Initiative for Nutritional Security through Intensive Millets Promotion” (INSIMP) programmes to augment the availability of seed to farmers at an affordable price should be promoted for promoting millets production.
