Evaluation of Growth Performance in Fish Production of Jharkhand

This study is based on the secondary data collected from department of fishery, Government of
Jharkhand. The growth rate of fish production during 2001-02 to 2014-15 was estimated through
linear equation, which reveals that the annual growth in production of fish was near about 19 per cent
compound rate per annum. The projection of fish production by 2020 in the state is also estimated on
the trend of fish production over the period and by 2020 the state would be able to produce nearby
1.60 lakh tons, which would be closer to per capita requirement in the state. This enterprise will
certainly induce the available nutritional status of the state as well as boost the income of fish
producers. The foregoing analysis reveals that fish production in the state has been increased over
time. It was projected that fish production would raise about 1.60 lakh tons in 2020 from 14 thousand
tons in 2001. This indicates that fish production can improve the nutritional status of the state as well
as income of the fish producers.
