Solution
- Among the agro-complementary industries are animal husbandry, poultry farming, sericulture, and apiculture (the culture of honey bees).
- An agro-complementary business can be conducted concurrently with agriculture.
- This generates additional revenue. These agro-complementary enterprises can benefit farmers financially and assist them in becoming more self-sufficient.
- Furthermore, they help in efficient utilization of farm resources and can contribute to sustainable agricultural practices.
- Such diversification also reduces the risk farmers face from crop failures.
