The present investigation was carried out to study area production trends of Paddy crop grown in different districts of Tamil Nadu state, India during the period 1998-99 to 2010- 2020 based on Panel Regression Model. The statistically most suited Panel Regression model was selected based on Hausman and Wald test. The study variables namely the area under the Paddy crop (AREA) and the production (PRODN) of Paddy crop were found to be stationary at level. Analysis of variance test indicated that district to district crop productions were highly significant. Highest area under the crops and productions were registered in Tiruvarur, Thanjavur etc., Very lowest were registered in Coimbatore and Nilgiris districts. The fixed effect model was found to be suitable to study the trend and this model explains the 87% of variations in Paddy crop production.
