I recently came across data published by government of India on farm produce for different crops in different season district wise from year 1996 to 2015. I wanted to use this data to answer some questions I was interested one was the analysis of per unit area production of a particular crop across different state. I choose wheat for my analysis. but you can use any other based on the given data. According to the given data I am not sure if area is in acres or hectares and produce is in quintals or tons but that doesn’t affect our analysis if units are consistent which is my assumptions.
