The highest amount of paddy is grown in this nation; it makes up around one-third of all paddy fields worldwide. India is the second-largest producer after China. India is the fourth-largest exporter of rice in the world and has the highest global paddy output. The productivity of paddy has been falling and remaining constant over the years. The main goal of this study is to compile and compare data on paddy production, area, and productivity for Andhra Pradesh, India, and the rest of the world. From 1991–1992 to 2019–20, the global growth rate of the area used for paddy cultivation is positive (0.50 percent) and statistically significant at the 1% level. The overall Log Linear Growth Rate of Area in India is dropping, with a tendency of -1.43 percent. The highest portion of the declining trend was from 1991–1992 to 2000–2001, at -3.85 percent. With a growth rate of 2.26 percent from 1991–1992 to 2019–20, Andhra Pradesh's paddy output has had a considerable positive rise. Global paddy productivity increased by 1.19 percent from 2001–2002 to 2010–11, while paddy production increased by 2.17 percent globally. In India, paddy productivity showed a positive trend, growing at rates of 1.85 percent from 1991–1992 to 2000–01 and 1.57 percent from 2012–2013 to 2019–20. However, the area used for paddy cultivation in India has been decreasing, with the most significant decline from 1991–1992 to 2000–2001 at -3.85 percent.
