The study was conducted to examine the growth rates and variability of major vegetable crops in Uttarakhand. The time series data from 2012-13 to 2021-22 was analysed and compound annual growth rates (CAGR) and Cuddy Della Valle Index (CDVI) were computed for the five vegetable crops having maximum production in Uttarakhand. The growth rates for area were positive for all vegetables. A significant increase in production was observed for all crops, except potato, whose production fell. The results of instability index revealed a low level of instability in area, production and yield of vegetables in the study area. Decomposition analysis was carried out to know the individual effects of area, yield and their interaction on production growth. Area effect was found to be largely responsible for any changes in production for all vegetables. Yield effect and interaction effect did not have much of an effect on the production
