Question
Explain the following concept.
Commercialisation of Agriculture
Solution
Earlier, what farmers produced was only for their sustainability. But after the British came, they turned towards India for the crops like indigo, cotton, jute, bamboo tea, and coffee. The farmers were pressurised to produce large quantities of produce for the Britishers as the demand of indigo had increased on a large scale. Hence, now the crops and the produce were cultivated by the peasants and the farmers and were now used for sale in the national and international Market and not for their own livelihood. The commercialization of agrarian society started after the 1800s.
