how has the location of India country due to change of India's and commodities
Answers
India is an agrarian economy and more than 52% of the land area is considered arable. India is among the highest-ranking countries in production volume for various commodities like rice, cotton, and dairy. Agriculture and related sectors such as forestry and fisheries account for 17% of GDP though this has been declining since 1991. Agricultural related occupations, including those of the textile sector, account for roughly half of India’s labor market. Consequently, the agricultural sector plays an important role in Indian economics, politics and society.
Indian agricultural production for food staples is monsoon dependent. Farm yields are generally below the world average. This low productivity is caused by many factors: heavy government regulation, inefficiency in the food distribution system, poor infrastructure (which results in post-harvest losses of up to 40% for certain products), lack of awareness in the use of modern agricultural practices and technologies, unpredictable weather, small average farm sizes of 2.87 acres and shrinking, and agricultural subsidies that distort market signals and hamper productivity-enhancing investment.
