Abstract The primary food source for rural inhabitants in arid terrain areas has historically been small millets, which are nutrient-rich and drought-resistant. The Indian government has designated 2023 as the International Year of Millets to encourage the production and consumption of these grains in recognition of their significance. The focus of this study is on the volatility and trend of small millets in the Andhra Pradesh district of Visakhapatnam. The Cuddy Della Valle Index was used to collect and analyse secondary data from 2000 to 2019 in order to evaluate instability. The study found a gradual decrease in the area under small millets' cultivation in Visakhapatnam and Andhra Pradesh. While crop output in Andhra Pradesh originally dropped before increasing, it fluctuated without a distinct trend in Visakhapatnam. In general, Andhra Pradesh outperformed Visakhapatnam in yields. The results highlight the need for policy changes to support sustainable small-scale millet farming practises. The study emphasises the significance of creating high-yielding cultivars and suggests regulations to aid small millet growers. The findings aid in comprehending the current circumstance and offer suggestions for agricultural advancement and regulatory actions to increase tiny millet production.
