Hope this helps u :)
Under globalisation, particularly after 1990, the farmers in India have been exposed to new challenges. Despite being an important producer of rice, cotton, rubber, tea, coffee, jute and spices our agricultural products are not able to compete with the developed countries because of the highly subsidised agriculture in those countries.During the British period cotton belts of India attracted the British and ultimately cotton was exported to Britain as a raw material for their textile industries. Cotton textile industry in Manchester and Liverpool flourished due to the availability of good quality cotton from India.

The impact of globalisation on Indian agriculture has been felt since colonial times. Raw cotton and spices were important export items from India. In 1917, Indian farmers revolted in Champaran against being forced to grow indigo in place of foodgrains, in order to supply dye to Britain’s flourishing textile industry. Thus, globalisation has had its boons and banes for Indian agriculture.
Post liberalisation, Indian farmers face new challenges in the form of competition from highly subsidised agriculture of developed nations. This prompts the need for making Indian agriculture successful and profitable by improving the conditions of small and marginal farmers, countering the negative effects of Green Revolution, developing and promoting organic farming, and diversifying cropping pattern from cereals to high-value crops.
Indian agricultural has suffered adverse from impact of globalisation.the impacts are -:
(i) agricultural land has been taken or encroachedfor development of industries
(ii) because of globalization the competition in agriculture sector has increased, US has got many of Indias high earning agricultural products patent in WTO (like - basmati rice , turmeric etc. ) and thats why you need to pay US government for their production.
(iii) FDI was introduced in industrial and service sector but agricultural sector was kept protected and hence capital formation in agricultural is negligible.
(iv) Though green revolution was introduced but it was limited only to Punjab , Haryana and western UP. Other areas which are dependent on agriculture are still backward and monsoon dependent.
