The present study has been undertaken to study the trends, prediction model of area, production and productivity of maize in Northern Hills of Chhattisgarh in India. Time series data for maize were collected for the period from 1979-80 to 2012-13 from various governmental publications and web sites. The whole period divided into three sub periods (Period-I, 1979-80 to 1986-87; Period-II, 1987-88 to 1997-98 and Period-III, 1998-99 to 2013-13) for trends analysis and for prediction model. The linear, quadratic and exponential function are fitted in order to analyse the trend in area, production and productivity of maize crop. Besides these, compound growth rate, coefficient of variation (CV), instability index of area, production and productivity of maize crop have also been estimated and discussed. The result of the study revealed that the growing of crop is not risky as the CV of area, production and productivity of crop are very less.
