India with its diversified agricultural assets in terms of soil, rainfall and climate. Hence, it has abundant crop diversity. Trends in area, production and productivity of major coarse cereals in Hyderabad-Karnataka region was estimated using the compound annual growth rate (CAGR). The necessary secondary data were collected for a period of 27 years from 1991-92 to 2017-18. Maize, bajra and sorghum were selected purposively because these three crops occupied highest area under coarse cereals group and rest of the coarse. In maize crop there was an increasing trend in area and production, but decreasing trend in productivity. In bajra crop there was an decreasing trend in area and production, but increasing trend in productivity. In sorghum crop there was an decreasing trend in area and production, but increasing trend in productivity. To improve the area and production of these two crops minimum support price (MSP)  should be incentivised to meet out food and nutritional security.
