Solution

The correct option is B
2 only

Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: Some of the major reasons for low level of productivity in India can be attributed to the following:

  • Small size of landholdings, as average size of farm holdings are getting reduced year after year thus, hampering productivity potential.
  • Skewed distribution of rainfall spatially and temporally
  • Supply chain inefficiencies along with inadequate forward and backward linkages
  • Poor cropping pattern

Statement 2 is correct: Majority of the land under agriculture is dependent on monsoon.
