Q. Which among the following is not a reason of low agricultural productivity in India on the basis of per worker and per hectare of land?
Answer: maximum capital base
Notes: The correct answer is "maximum capital base." Low agricultural productivity in India is primarily due to factors like high population pressure on land and unequal land distribution, which limits access to resources for many farmers. However, a "maximum capital base" suggests sufficient investment and resources, which can actually enhance productivity rather than hinder it. In contrast, India has a important number of smallholder farmers who often lack access to capital, technology, and modern farming techniques, contributing to lower productivity levels.
