• Dependence on monsoon

Answer 1

The problem faced by Indian agriculture is dependence on monsoon.

Explanation:

Due to insufficient irrigation facilities, about 60% of India’s cultivated land relies on uncertain and irregular rainfall. This makes agriculture highly vulnerable to droughts and erratic weather, causing unstable crop production. Additionally, Indian agriculture suffers from small and fragmented land holdings, outdated farming methods, lack of good quality seeds, and limited financial resources for farmers.
