Question

Which of the following are the problems due to land fragmentation?

• A. High Economies of scale
• B. Low mechanization
• C. High production
• D. High input cost

Answer 1

The correct option is B Low mechanization

Land fragmentation is defined as the situation in which a single farm or ownership consists of numerous spatially separated plots. It is an observed phenomenon in many countries around the world, and is often viewed as an obstacle to agricultural productivity and modernization. Land fragmentation leads to decline in economy of scale and this often leads to lesser investment in farm mechanization.
