      abstract = {This paper intends to study the Spatio-temporal growth of  the walnut crop in Jammu & Kashmir, which holds a monopoly  in walnut production in India. It also aims to assess the  efficiency of the existing marketing channels of the  walnut-crop in the region. A multi-stage random selection  technique was used to collect primary data from three major  walnut producing districts to identify the existing  marketing channels and estimate their respective  efficiencies. Compound-Annual-Growth-rate and  Cuddy-Della-Valle index was used to estimate the growth of  the walnut crop. Shepherd’s Marketing Efficiency Index was  used to estimate the marketing efficiencies of the channels  involved in the marketing of the crop. This paper found out  very-high variability and slow growth in acreage, very-high  variability, and high growth in production as well as in  yield-per-hectare of the walnut crop.},
