520			_aTripura is basically an agrarian state contributing about 22 per cent of the State Gross Domestic Product (SGDP) and about 52 per cent population depends on agriculture for its livelihood. The state falls short of around 70 thousand million ton in order to achieve self-sufficiency in rice production due to its vast hilly terrain. Rice is mainly grown in valley area and productivity is stagnant in valley districts. The scope to increase area under rice cultivation is limited in valley. Hence, the present study was conducted to study the trends in rice area, production and yield, to study the factors affecting the adoption of HYVs/improved varieties of rice and to study the costs and returns in paddy cultivation. The study was conducted in West Tripura district. A sample of 60 farmers was randomly drawn from three villages of Jirania block of the selected district. To attain the first objective temporal analysis was applied; probit model was applied to study the factors affecting adoption of HYVs and the costs and returns per hectare was calculated using various cost and returns concepts. The total area under rice has declined by about 11.72 per cent, total production has increased by about 74.40 per cent and yield has increased by about 97.55 per cent during the period of 1985-86 to 2009-10. The growth rates in area, production and yield of rice in Tripura during 1985-86 to 2009-10 was -0.32 per cent, 2.08 per cent and 2.41 per cent per annum, respectively. Availability of seed, scarcity of fertilizer, storage facility and scarcity of labour had significant influence on the decision that a farmer will grow HYVs or local rice. Per hectare cost of cultivation for HYVs was higher (₹49226.60/ha) as compared to (₹41491.90/ha) local paddy whereas the net return was significantly higher (18553.79/ha) in local paddy than HYVs of paddy (₹10634.83/ha). Government may take proper initiative to arrest the negative growth in area under rice and stabilize the yield to become self-sufficient in rice production.
