Answer »Answer: (a)
Productivity is actually a function of efficiency and effectiveness. These two are essential for a productive industry.
The agricultural sector in India has low productivity because of
- Traditional farming methods;
- Lack of adequate machinery;
- Lack of finances for farmers;
- Lack of good quality seeds and
- fertilizers and ownership of land.
Besides, the increasing pressure of population on land is an important demographic factor responsible for low yield in agriculture. Shortage of finance, marketing and storage facilities are also responsible for agricultural backwardness in India.
The co-operatives and other institutional agencies have not been able to eliminate the village money-lenders. Storage facilities for farmers are not still available to preserve their agricultural product for a better price.
