Answer:
(i) In the nineteenth
century, Indian spices were exported to different countries of the world and
farmers of South India were encouraged to grow these crops.
(ii) Cotton
was exported to Britain as a raw material for their textile industries.
(iii) Farmers
have been exposed to new challenges after 1990. Agricultural products are not
able to compete with the developed countries because of the highly subsidized agriculture
in these countries.
(iv) The green revolution has caused land degradation due
to overuse of chemicals, drying aquifers and vanishing biodiversity.
Indian
farmers should diversify their cropping pattern from cereals to high- value
crops. India's diverse climate can be harnessed to grow a wide range of high-value
crops.
