Soybean is an oilseed crop with inadvertent importance. It is a good source of protein both for human beings and livestock. The production and demand for soybean have been many traits increased in India during the last decade resolving in its winder adoption among farmers in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Karnataka and Gujarat. The secondary data on area, production and yield of soybean crop in seven major producing states of India were collected for period from 1990-91 to 2019-20. The data were analyzed using compound growth rate, coefficient of variation and Cuddy Della Valle index. The investigation revealed that, among the major soybean growing states, Gujarat recorded the highest increase in soybean area and production about 10.07 and 10.75 per cent during 1990-91 to 2019-20, respectively. At all India level shown significantly positive growth in soybean area (4.60%), production (5.10%) and yield (0.46%) during overall period. Gujarat, Karnataka and Rajasthan had recorded having high instability in production during the overall study period. This study suggests that the very low productivity of soybean in India compared to the world indicates that there exists a vast untapped yield potential, which can be achieved by research and extension efforts in India
