State the reasons for low yield of rice in India.

Reasons for low yield of rice in India are:

1. Poor farmers can not afford high-yielding variety of rice.
2. Pests and diseases decrease the yield of rice. Proper pests and disease management is not done by farmers.
3. Most of the parts of India depend on monsoon rains which are highly unreliable and erratic leading to loss of crop due to drought or flood.
4. Advanced cultivation methods are not being used by most of the farmers.
