The present study based on the last 30 year time series data on area, production and productivity to identify the trend. The compound growth rate and coefficient of variation here analysed for period I, period II and overall 30 years for Western Maharashtra region. The study indicate that compound growth rate for area, production and productivity for almost all the district where positive, except Nashik, Dhule and Kolhapur district. The highest area of gram is observed in Ahamadnagar district followed by Pune and Nashik district. i.e 10.74, 3.54 and -2.92 per cent per annum respectively, during the last 30 years i.e. overall production found to be statistically significant at 1 per cent level of probability with the highest coefficient of variation is observed in Solapur district followed by Ahamadnagar and Dhule i.e. 78.61, 65.53 and 59.38 per cent respectively.The production and productivity instability in selected pulses crop were observed in almost the entire district in the Western Maharashtra. The coefficient of variation for almost all the district were less in period I as compared to period II. The similar pattern also observed in production. On the other hand the growth rate of productivity for the gram was positive for almost all the district and both the periods. Highest compound growth rate for productivity during the overall period was observed in Jalgaon followed by Dhule and Nashik i.e. 5.61, 5.55 and 5.34 respectively. The coefficient of variation range in between 21.43 and 34.25 per cent. Thus it is concluded that gram is ascent during the study period. Considering the importance of gram as a low input and less water requirement crop. It is recommended option for the farmer in operating in any environment where other crop not performing well. In the developing and developed economies. It is need to concentrate on the crop specially to cultivate under marginal and stress prone areas to attend the sustainability.
