Answer 2

The following assertion " The small farmers, who constitute about 80 percent of total farmers in India, find it difficult to obtain capital" is true and reason is the correct explanation.

Problems faced by small farmers-

• Marginally smaller farmers, who account for about 80% of all farmers in India, have relatively small plots for agricultural farming.
• They barely generate enough to support themselves in these little fields.
• Due to the tiny amount of their landholdings, they are subsistence farmers who produce primarily for their own use and not for market excess.
• They borrow from major farmers, community money lenders, or businessmen who provide various agricultural inputs.
• The interest rate on such loans is quite high. They are in a lot of trouble repaying the debt.

Conclusion-

Therefore, Medium and big farmers, unlike small farmers, have their own savings from farming. As a result, they are able to secure funding.
