Question

What are the labour and capital problems for Indian farmers ? Give solution

Answer 1

Food wastage due to lack of storage and transportation facilities

The amounts of food wasted in the country puts huge pressure on agriculture to produce more crops. Lack of storage and transportation facilities leads to a situation where a significant proportion of the agricultural produce is spoiled before it reaches the market. This leads to reduced returns for the farmers and is also inefficient from the economic point of view.Technology can play an important role in addressing this issue

Encouraging private players to contribute in creating better storage and transportation facilities;-
Educating farmers about better post-harvesting technologiesLocally-specific farm mechanisation to improve storage Standardising farm operations and ensuring better transport facilities for food and food products Encouraging consumers to eat what is produced locally
