Answer 2

1. (A): Indian agriculture is a source of earning foreign exchange - True.

• A trade surplus of up to $ 18 billion was generated by the $ 56 billion in agricultural commerce.
• This is because while imports make up a large portion of the services trade, their contribution to agriculture is negligible.
• After all, the nation has access to all of the necessary resources, including labor, land, water, and sunlight.
• Agriculture met the demands of the local people up to 2000 (motivated by the ideology of food security), but in later years, the emphasis moved to exports.
• Due to this, exports rose from $6 billion in 2000 to $47 billion in 2013.
• Agriculture is therefore vital for generating significantly bigger net foreign exchange as well as feeding the local people (better than the services sector).

2. (R): Coffee and Spices are exported to various countries​ - True.

Spices:

• India is the largest producer of spices in the world.
• Additionally, it is the biggest importer and exporter of spices.
• Different spices have been produced with increasing frequency. Pepper, cardamom, chili, ginger, turmeric, coriander, cumin, celery, fennel, fenugreek, garlic, nutmeg, and mace, as well as spice oils and oleoresins, are the most produced and exported spices.
• Chili, cumin, turmeric, ginger, and coriander account for around 76% of the entire production of these spices.

Coffee:

• The first commercial coffee plantations were established in the 18th century, and since then the Indian coffee industry has advanced quickly and established itself as a unique region on the global coffee map.
• Coffee is primarily an export-oriented good, with 65 to 70 percent of domestic production going outside the nation and the remainder being consumed there.
• Indian coffee has carved out a place for itself in the global market and is commanding significant premiums, especially Indian Robusta, which is highly regarded for its superior blending qualities.
• Indian Arabica coffee is popular on the global market as well.

Both assertion and reason statements are true but reason does not explain the assertion statement completely.

Hence, Assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason(R) cannot explain (A) completely.
