Question

what was the big problem for the planters

Answer 1

Answer:

The planters found it difficult to expand the area under nij cultivation.

Indigo could be cultivated only on fertile land, and almost all fertile lands were occupied with food grains and orher crops that Indians needed. The planters had to acquire small plots scattered over large areas. Another problem was of Labour availability. Huge indigo plantations needed many labourers, and that too in the same season. There were other problems too.
