Question

Which of the following causes farmers distress?

• A. Crop failure
• B. Low selling cost of harvest
• C. Taking loans to repay other loans
• D. All of the above cause farmers distress.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above cause farmers distress.

Crop failure, the burden of loan repayment and low market price of produce cause distress for farmers. Nearly two-fifths of all rural families are mainly agricultural labourers in Andhra Pradesh. Of these, hardly a few have small plots of land and the rest are landless.
