Question

problems faced by farmers during lockdown​

Answer 1

Explanation:

According to Food and Agriculture Organisation of United Nations, “Agriculture, with its allied sectors, is the largest source of livelihoods in India. 70 percent of its rural households still depend primarily on agriculture for their livelihood, with 82 percent of farmers being small and marginal.” Agriculture contributes some 16% to the country’s GDP. Also, India is one of the world’s largest producers of crops like rice, wheat, sugarcane, cotton, vegetables and milk. Seeing these data sets, it is very clear that the damage caused by the Covid-19 pandemic will drop the country’s struggling rural economy that supports nearly half its population into further distress.
