Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

By commercialization of agriculture we mean production of agricultural crops for sale in the. market, rather than for family consumption. For marketization of agricultural products thus 'surplus' of production over consumption is. required.

Commercialization of Indian agriculture resulted in reduced area under cultivation of food crops due to the substitution of commercial non-food grains in place of food grains. Between 1893-94 to 1945-46, the production of commercial crops increased by 85 percent and that of food crops fell by 7 percent.
