  • Agriculture supplies raw materials to industries such as cotton textiles, jute, sugar, and tea.

  • Disguised unemployment is common in agriculture.
  • Food crops occupy nearly 70% of cultivated land.
  • Most holdings are small and fragmented.

  • Food crops and commercial crops are the two broad groups of crops.
  • Foodgrain production rose from 50.8 MT to 330.5 MT over the period covered.
  • India is the second largest grower of rice in the world.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A fall in agriculture's share in GDP means agricultural production also fell.

Agriculture is important only because it produces food grains.

Indian agriculture is mainly limited by land shortage, so rainfall is not a major issue.
