Answer 1

The level of agricultural productivity is very low as compared to developed country. This is because of population on land, heavy dependence on rainfall and traditional methods of cultivation.

Explanation:

The level of agricultural productivity in India is very low compared to developed countries due to multiple reasons heavy population pressure on land leading to fragmentation of holdings, heavy dependence on uncertain rainfall due to lack of adequate irrigation facilities, and the continued use of traditional, outdated methods of cultivation. These factors combined restrict scientific and efficient farming practices, resulting in lower yields and productivity per hectare compared to developed countries.
