anyone thought how will farmers get a hike without food prices going up ? either his yield has to increase or he has to increase his land holdings. can govt give land ? can it help improving yield - after 60's green revolution our yield is still average 2 tonnes per hectare
so how ?
small farmer has 2 hectares
1 hectare = 2.47 acre = 330 sq ft by 330 sq ft 2 hectare = approx 467 sq ft by 467 sq ft 1 tonne = 1000 kg price of rice per kg for farmer rs 10
small farmer pay per 4-5 months = rs 10 * 2 * 1000 = 20,000 = rs 4000-5000 per month. assuming rice crop take 4-5 months time.
if crop fails you can imagine ...
imaging a small farmer husband-wife tilling a 467 sq-ft by 467 sq-ft land by himself can they ? tractors ? costly ?
imagine cost of fertilizer, water-pumping, other farm labours, transportation, schooling, etc ...
