main problems faced by farmers in india

major issues faced by farmers in india

1. small and fragmented land-holdings solutions

The bulk of the 141.2 million hectares net area and the 189.7 million hectares planted area (1999-2000) are negligible if we consider that it is subdivided into smaller and economically dispersed areas.
The average size of the residence was 2.28 hectares in 1970-71 which was reduced to 1.82 hectares in 1980-81 and 1.50 hectares in 1995-96. The size of the dwellings will also be reduced by the division of the Permanent Residential Area.

2. seed 

Seeds are an important and fundamental contribution to achieving high yields and sustainable growth in agricultural production. The distribution of guaranteed quality seeds is just as important as the production of those seeds. Unfortunately, good quality seeds are not accessible to most farmers, especially small and very small farmers due to the high price of better seeds.

3. manures fertilizers and biocides

Indian soil has been used to grow crops for thousands of years without much care about filling. This has led to depletion and depletion of the soil which leads to its low productivity. The average yield of almost all crops is among the lowest in the world. This is a major problem that can be solved by using too much manure and fertilizer.

Manure and fertilizer play a similar role in soil fertility. Just as a well-nourished body can do any good work, a well-drained soil can provide a good harvest. It is estimated that 70 percent growth in agricultural production could be attributed to increased fertilizer application.

Thus the increase in fertilizer use is a measure of agricultural prosperity. However, there are practical challenges in providing adequate manure and fertilizer to all parts of India, which is home to poor farmers. Cattle manure provides the best fertilizer for the soil.

But its use is thus limited because most cow dung is used as kitchen oil in the form of dung cakes. Decreased availability of firewood and increased demand for fuel in rural areas due to population growth have exacerbated the problem. Chemical fertilizers are expensive and often poor farmers cannot afford them. Therefore, the problem of fertilizer is complex and complex.

4. Irrigation:

Although India is the second-largest irrigated country in the world after China, only a third of the area under cultivation is under irrigation. Irrigation is a very important agricultural culture in a tropical country like India where rainfall is uncertain, reliable and flexible India cannot achieve agricultural progress unless more than half of the planted area is brought under guaranteed irrigation.

5. Lack of equipment:

Despite the use of agricultural machinery in some parts of the country, most agricultural activities in large parts are done by human hand using simple and common tools and tools such as a wooden plow, scissors, etc.

6. Erosion:

Much of the fertile land is affected by erosion by air and water. This area should be well maintained and restored to its original fertility.

7. Agricultural Marketing:

Agricultural marketing continues to deteriorate in rural India. In the absence of sound marketing markets, farmers should rely on local traders and local retailers to get their farm produce sold at a disposal price.

8. Lack of capital:

Agriculture is an important industry and like all other industries it also needs money. The role of capital input is becoming increasingly important with the development of farm technology. With the farmers' capital locked up in his fields and stockpiles, he is obliged to borrow money to boost agricultural productivity.
Now, the use of technology can be successfully implemented in a variety of ways to help farmers. Like:

Government direct cash transfer to farmers has been initiated by our PM NaMo under Jan Dhan Yojna.
Marketing Agriculture with modern technology such as mobile phones will be another step forward.
Educating farmers on how to prevent soil erosion and increase yields using appropriate fertilizers by accessing them with advanced technology can also be a big step forward.
