Impact of Globalisation on
agriculture

3. Impact of globalisation are
being felt since historic
times.
It is the movement and integration of goods and people among
different countries.

4. When European traders first came in India,
black pepper and spices were the main
items of export. During British rule, India
became a net exporter of raw materials;
especially cotton. Due to high demand of
indigo in British textiles industry, the
farmers in India were forced to grow
indigo.

5. In the modern context, Indian
farmers are unable to compete with
western farmers because of very
high level of subsidies for farmers in
the west.

6. Due to this, demand for
Indian farm produce is
very low in international
market.

7. Moreover, excessive use of synthetic
fertilisers, irrigation, etc. has created its
own problems; which are evident by falling
level of farm production. Too many people
are dependent on farm land in India and
hence per capita farm production is
forecasted to decrease further.

8. Experts suggest that organic farming is the
way out of the problem.
