Explanation:
the term of globalisation is not a new term associated with indian agriculture. It was practised at the time of colonization. In 19th , european traders came to Indian and exported indian spices to different parts of the world even today these are being exported in good quantity .
Despite being a chief producer of rice, cotton, rubber, tea , coffee, jute and spices our agricultural products are not in a state to compete with the develop countries because of the high subsided agriculture in those countries. A few economists think that Indian farmers need to diversify their cropping patterns from cereals to high value crops . This will increase income and reduce environmental degradation simultaneously. India's diverse climate can br harnessed to grow a wide range of high value crops
