Question

How did globalisation impact Indian agriculture after 1991?

• A. Decreased crop yields
• B. Increased subsidies for farmers
• C. Enhanced competition and access to global markets
• D. Complete reliance on imports

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Enhanced competition and access to global markets

Globalization enhanced competition and access to global markets for Indian agriculture after 1991. globalization aims to accelerate economic growth through liberalization and privatization, it has negatively impacted Indian farmers and agriculture. Farmers now face lower output prices, higher input costs, less government support and subsidies, and increased competition from imports. This has led to rising farmer indebtedness, poverty, and even suicide in some cases. While globalization provides opportunities for increased exports, Indian agriculture has struggled with quality issues, production costs, and a lack of infrastructure to effectively compete globally. Overall challenges remain for Indian farmers and agriculture under globalization.
