A research was conducted to assess the performance of oilseed crops in Marathwada region of Maharashtra State. Performance of oilseed crops was judged on important parameters i.e. growth. Compound growth rate was estimated by fitting non linear model to the area, production and productivity data for safflower from the period 1986-87 to 2015-16 i.e. 30 years. The entire period was divided in to three sub-periods and one overall period. Whereas for soybean crop because of non availability of data area, production and yield data were collected from 1996-97 to 2015-16 i.e. 20 year period. The entire period was divided in to two sub-periods and one overall period. The fitted model was analyzed using Marquardt algorithm. The results show that, Compound growth rate of area and production in soybean crop was positive and significant at district, region and state level during period I to period II and overall period except in Aurangabad district. In Aurangabad district compound growth rate of soybean was observed negatively during second period. Mixed trends were observed at districts, region and state in CGR of soybean productivity. The compound growth rate of area and production of safflower crop was negative and significant of many districts of Marathwada region. Mixed trend in CGR of safflower productivity was observed.
