Description This research paper studied the growth and economic performance of potato cultivation in Himachal Pradesh over a period of 21 years (2001-02 to 2021-22). The study was entirely based on secondary data, employing growth rate analysis, instability indices, decomposition analysis, and cost concept to fulfill the objective. The findings of the study revealed a significant increase in area, production, and productivity of potatoes, with the decomposition analysis highlighting the major role of expanded cultivation area in production growth. Instability indices reveal fluctuations in production, mainly attributed to variability in cultivation area. Input-use patterns show a decrease in input quantity but an increase in their value. The cost structure analysis emphasizes the capital-intensive nature of potato cultivation, with operational costs, particularly seed and human labor, contributing significantly. The study underscores the need for measures to stabilize potato production and mitigate the impact of rising input prices.
