Question 6

Kerala's agricultural landscape has undergone a significant transformation, with a historical shift from subsistence food crops to commercial cash crops like rubber, coconut, and spices. What is a major long-term economic consequence of this specialization for the state's agriculture sector?

Accepted Answer

B. Increased vulnerability of farmer incomes to global commodity price fluctuations and external market forces. — The specialization in cash crops makes Kerala's agricultural economy highly susceptible to global market volatility.

A. Enhanced food security through increased export earnings, enabling the import of necessary food grains.
