Impact on agriculture
Globalisation is an old phenomenon.
It started at the time of colonisation.
In the nineteenth century when European traders came to India, during that time as well the Indian spices were exported to different countries of the world and farmers of south India were encouraged and enhanced to grow these crops.
Till today, it is one of the major items of export from India.
Under globalisation, majorly after 1990, the farmers in India have been exposed to new challenges and task.
Despite being an important and major producer of rice, cotton, rubber, tea, coffee, jute and spices, our agricultural products are not able to compete with the developed countries due to the highly subsidised agriculture in other foreign countries.
Today, Indian agriculture marks itself at the crossroads.
