Question

how do the size of land holdings labour and capital influence the agricultural development in an area ? explain

Answer 1

Size of land holdings: The size of farms affect the agricultural pattern and the yield per unit hectare. In the densely populated areas of the developing countries, the farm size is generally very small due to growing rural population. The small fields are mostly not economical.

Labour: The availability of labour has great influence on cropping pattern of a region. The labour requirement varies with different crops.

Capital: All agricultural inputs, like the HYV seeds, means of irrigation, fertilisers, pesticides, hiring labour, machines, land lease, fodder, fuel, power and veterinary services, require capital.
