Three problems of agriculture in India are-
- Indian agriculture is dependent to a large extent on the monsoons, which are uncertain, irregular and unequally distributed.
- Old and inefficient methods and techniques of farming, inadequate irrigation facilities and inability of the farmers to purchase good quality seed and modern equipment because of paucity of funds and lack of latest know-how and inputs.
- Soil erosion is not only a major cause for decreasing soil fertility but also results in loss of valuable crop land.
