Problems of Agriculture system in P

1. Lake of education Mostly formers uneducated Lake of technical knowledge

Unable to understand scientific

methods

Therefore production is low

2. lack of capital Mostly formers are poor Heavy Burdon of debts

Can not afford modern Scientifics implement

Also can not get required standards of

products


17/54

3. Old traditions

Formers are still stuck to old tradition

They have small holdings

They can not afford heavy cost


18/54

4.Uneconomical Land Holdings Our former command small pieces of land which costly

A former can not afford tractors and machineries for sm

of land

5.Shortage of Water It is also a major problem for the formers

About 22 million acres is uncultivated due to shortage of

Rainfall is uncertain and the existing irrigational facilquite insufficient and need to be extended.


19/54

6.Land Tenure System Land tenure system is also a big problem in agriculture

Unequal distribution of land, political problems and interelandlords are defects of land tenure system

7.Lack of Organized Marketing Marketing facilities are not good

Formers can not get fair price due to defective marketing

Moreover the middlemen between the producers and ultconsumers take a heavy share of their produce


20/54

8.Poor Means of Transportation

Agricultural activities are performed in rural areas

Most of our villages have no road or links with our marke

So farmers face difficulties to sell their products

9.Lack of Credit Facilities Less importance to Agriculture sector Complicated process to take loans from Banks

Misused of agriculture credit & use it in personal expen


21/54

10.Culture of mechanization

Culture of mechanization is not developed in our cou

Our former do not use developed machinery and eq

in agriculture properly and frequently
