The study has been conducted in Burdwan District and West Bengal on the basis of area, production and productivity over a period of 11 years from 1999-2000 to 2010-11. The study is based mainly on secondary data. Data used in the study are mostly taken from secondary sources such as Area, production and productivity of principal crops in West Bengal 2011-12, Evaluation wing, Directorate of Agriculture, Govt. of West Bengal, District Statistical Handbook, Burdwan 2011-12, Bureau of Applied Economics and Statistics, Govt. of West Bengal, Economic Review, Statistical Appendix 2011-12, Bureau of Applied Economics and Statistics, Govt. of India. The study has been carried out with the objectives of finding Compound growth of area, production and productivity of Rapeseed and Mustard in Burdwan District and West Bengal. It is found that in Burdwan District area and production of rapeseed and mustard have recorded negative compound growth rate to the extent of 3.50 and 3.53 percent per annum respectively over a period of 11 years from 1999-2000 to 2010-11. But growth rate of productivity of this crop is noted to be 0.05 percent in the district. Compound growth rate of area, production and productivity of this crop in West Bengal are 0.17, 1.00 and 0.32 percent per annum respectively in same period of time.
