Explanation:
A large number of factors encouraged and facilitated commercialization of Indian agriculture. The
political unity established by the British and the resultant rise of the unified national market was an
important factor. Further, the spread of money economy replaced the barter and agricultural goods
became market items.
The chief factor was the colonial subjugation of India under the British rule. India was reduced to theMany commercial crops like, cotton, jute, tea, tobacco were introduced to meet the demand in
Britain.
The replacement of custom and tradition by competition and contract also led to the
commercialization of Indian agriculture
Better means of communication (equipped with rapid development of railways and shipping) made
trade in agricultural products feasible, especially over long distances. The emergence of grain
merchants was a natural adjunct to this and greatly facilitated agricultural trade.
Monetization of land revenue payments was another important casual factor for agricultural
commercialization.
Another boosting factor for commercialization of agriculture in India was the gaining of speed of
Industrial Revolution in England. This led to factor in commercialization as more and more
agricultural goods were produced to satisfy the demand for raw materials by the British industries.
The enlargement and expansion of international trade and the entry of British finance capital also
belted commercialization of agriculture.
Increasing demand for some of the commercial crops in other foreign countries gave impetus to
commercialization of agriculture.
The American Civil War also indirectly encouraged commercialization of agriculture in India: the
British cotton demand was diverted to India. The demand of cotton was maintained even after the
civil war ceased because of the rise of cotton textile industries in India.
British policy of one way free trade also acted as sufficient encouraging factor for
commercialization as the manufactured items in textile, jute etc could find free entry in Indian
markets, where as the manufactured goods did not have similar free access to European markets.
The peasants went in for growing commercial crops to pay back the interests due to money lenders
in time.
