Those who signed the agreement , get loans at a low rate of interest, in return they had to cultivate Indigo on 25 percent of their landholdings.The planters insisted that indigo should be cultivated on the best soil, in which the peasants wanted to cultivate rice, Indigo plant has deep roots and exhausted the soil fertility very rapidly, after that indigo harvest , the land could not be sown with rice.
