Question

Why are cotton farmers opting for other crops?

Options

• Reduced global demand for cotton.

• Increased cost of cultivation.

• Erratic rainfall due to climate change.

• All of the above.

Answer 1

All of the above.

Explanation:

Farmers are shifting away from cotton because global demand has declined and erratic rainfall from climate change has reduced/sometimes ruined yields, while rising input and cultivation costs make cotton less profitable, so all three factors together push farmers to choose other crops.
