Answer:
By the thirteenth century, Indian indigo was being used by the cloth manufacturers in Italy, France and Britain to dye cloth. Only small amounts of indigo reached in the European market and its prices were very high. European cloth manufacturers therefore had to depend on another plant called woad to make violet and blue dyes. Cloth dyers, however, preferred indigo as a dye because indigo produced rich blue color, whereas the dye from woad was pale and dull. So, it was very profitable for them.
4) At that time, the textile industry in Europe began to flourish. So, there was a great demand for Indian indigo in the European countries.
