There is no doubt to say that in India every agribusiness in India requires large capital investment and sometimes they have to buy expensive seedlings and raw materials to grow successful crops. Here in this article, we will discuss the biggest problems faced by every farmer in India
- Small and fragmented land holdings
One of the biggest problems faced by farmers in India is they have small land Holdings. The average size of holding was 2.28 hectares in 1971 which was reduced in 1981 to 1.82 hectares. Moreover, the size of Holdings will further decrease, and the subdivision of the land Holdings. - Soil erosion
Large Swaths of fertile land are being eroded by wind and water, resulting in soil erosion. There must be a thorough treatment for this area for it to return to its original fertility. - Absence of mechanism
Despite the widespread mechanism of action of agriculture in some parts of the country, the vast majority of Agricultural operations are carried out by hand using simple and traditional tools such as plough, Sickle, and other implements. - Agricultural Marketing
Agri marketing in the ruler area is still in a precarious state of affairs. Hence, the lack of adequate marketing structure is pursuing in the Indian farmer’s market. Farmers are forced to rely on local traders and intermediaries for the sale of their farm produce, which is sometimes offered at a bargain-basement price. - Irrigation
India is the second-largest irrigated country after China in which is one-third of the country’s Agricultural land is covered by allocation the agricultural inputs such as irrigation are critical in tropical monsoon countries like India. Without bringing more than half of the cropped land under Irrigation India will be unable to make sustained progress in agriculture. - Manures and biocides
The Indian soils have been utilized for crop cultivation for thousands of years with no regard for replenishment because the soils have been depleted and exhausted resulting, in a reduction of oil production. This is a severe problem that can be addressed by increasing the use of manure and fertilizers.
Besides, scarcity of capital is the important aspect that always sets back Indian farmers to go further in their agribusiness India.
With the improvement of farming standards in India, the growth of successful crops improves and our Indian farmers can start enjoying high standard of living.
