The objective of the study was to analyse the export performance of Litchi in India. The secondary time series data for the last 20 years i.e., 2001-02 to 2020-21 regarding area, production, productivity, export quantity and export value were collected from various sources like APEDA, NHB and DGCIS. The entire twenty-year period was equally divided into two periods i.e., period I (2001-02 to 2010-11) and period II (2011-12 to 2020-21). The collected data were analysed with the help of statistical tools like CGR, CV and Coppock’s instability Index in order to fulfil the objectives of the study. The study indicated that compound growth rate of area was positive and significant throughout the study period. The compound growth rate of production was positive and significant in period II (3.78) and overall period (3.52). The growth rate of productivity in period II (1.40) and overall period (0.15) was observed to be positive and non-significant. The compound growth rate of export quantity (13.01) and export value (3.03) of litchi in India was positive and non-significant in period I. The compound growth rate of export quantity and export value of litchi in India was negative both in period II and overall period. The variability area and production of litchi were highest in overall period as shown by coefficient of variation and Coppock’s instability index. For productivity it was highest during the period I. The variability of export quantity and export value of litchi was found to be highest during the period II as indicated by both coefficient of variation and Coppock’s instability index.
