Question
State any two reasons why fragmentation of land holdings leads to low agricultural productivity in India.
Solution
Land holding fragmentation is the root cause of India's low agricultural production for two reasons:
- Because fragmented land holdings are frequently too small to employ modern machinery efficiently, they depend more on conventional farming techniques and produce less.
- Small, dispersed plots make irrigation more challenging and costly, and they also result in higher per-unit prices for inputs like seeds and fertilizers. Moreover, drawing boundaries wastes a great deal of productive agricultural territory.
