Key Challenges Faced by Farmers

Agriculture in India is the backbone of its economy, and people’s lives depend on the food from its land. In India, 85% of the population owns less than 1.1 Hectares of land, which classifies them as marginal farmers. Since independence, many changes have been observed in per capita income and the country’s overall growth. However, the challenges farmers face have largely remained the same and are increasing daily. Here are some of the key challenges farmers face in their daily lives.

Small Landholdings
Farmers often have small plots of land, limiting their ability to increase productivity and adopt modern farming techniques.
Limited Market Access
Many farmers struggle to reach markets directly, relying on middlemen who offer them lower prices for their produce.
Climate Change
Unpredictable weather patterns and the effects of climate change make farming increasingly uncertain, impacting crop yields and quality.
Low Income
Despite their hard work, many farmers earn very little due to low crop prices, high costs, and inefficient practices.
Poor Quality Inputs
Limited access to high-quality seeds, fertilizers, and other farming essentials negatively impacts crop growth and productivity.
Limited Bargaining Power
Farmers have little influence over the prices they receive for their crops, leaving them at the mercy of market forces and middlemen.
Lack of Post-Harvest Infrastructure
Insufficient storage facilities and poor post-harvest management lead to significant losses in quality and quantity of produce.
Lack of Credit
Farmers face challenges in accessing timely and adequate credit, which affects their ability to invest in modern farming practices.
