Question 8

The agricultural sector in Kerala is characterized by a predominance of small landholdings and dependence on traditional farming methods, leading to challenges in productivity and market competitiveness. Which strategy would be most effective in modernizing the sector and improving farmers' income sustainably?

Accepted Answer

C. Investing in agricultural research and extension services, promoting mechanization, and facilitating access to modern farming techniques and inputs. — Investing in agricultural research and extension services, promoting mechanization, and facilitating access to modern farming techniques and inputs directly addresses productivity and competitiveness challenges in a sustainable manner.
