And the immediate return from that is low. The economy of most developing countries is inefficient and unbalanced. Agriculture provides at least 50% to 90% employment; On the other hand some basic items, e.g. Oil and some rare minerals are becoming increasingly expensive. These countries cannot buy it.

Agriculture : 'A Primary Activity' When we look at the distribution of agriculture as an occupation in the world, we see that the proportion of people engaged in agriculture is maximum in Africa and then in Asia. Though the area under agriculture is more extensive in Europe, the America and Australia; the percentage of population engaged in the activity is very less. Generally, the developed countries of the world have less population engaged in agriculture while the share of population engaged in agriculture is higher in developing countries. Various crops are produced in the different parts of the world. Various physical and socio - economic factors influence the development of agriculture. Various agricultural methods are found everywhere. Major physical factors that influence agriculture are climate, topography, soil and biotic factors. The economic and social factors include labour, market, capital, transportation facilities, storage facilities, government policies, population, ownership of land etc. According to these factors, the cropping pattern changes. |
