Indian agriculture history is witness of the new agriculture arrangement which took place in India has changed the overall traditional cropping pattern in India as well as in Andhra Pradesh such as green revolution and economic reforms. All these reforms have directly affected the productivity and production of only a few crops but the millets and pulses are going to highest instable in area and production in Andhra Pradesh. The growth rates and coefficient of variation of major millets were analyzed for period from 1990-2017 for the major five districts of Andhra Pradesh. In case of sorghum Guntur showed a high growth rates but high instability in production and yield. In case of bajra, yield showed increasing trend and area showed declining trend in majority of districts and state level also. Growth rates in ragi, korra and samai with respect to their area were negative in selected districts and state. The yield growth rate of total major millets found to be increasing in all selected districts and at state level with medium to high variation. The estimates of instability index in area, production and yield of millet crops showed a high variation in majority of the districts of Andhra Pradesh.
