Problem of inputs:- Indian agriculture suffered because of the inadequate of finance, seeds, fertilizers, marketing, transportation, etc.Size of landholding:- The average size of holding in India is very low, less than 2 hectares. Not only agricultural holding are small, but they are also fragmented. In certain parts of the country, plots of land have become so small that it is impossible to use modern machinery.

Over dependence on nature:- In spite of the development of sources of irrigation, most of the farmers in large parts of the country still depend upon monsoon and natural fertility in oder to carry on their agriculture.
