The two major drawbacks of contract farming are _________.
✓

Answer

The two major drawbacks of contract farming are:
  1. It leads to greater insecurity as farmers become dependent on MNC’s for their livelihood.
  2. Agricultural land is diverted away from food grain production to specialised items such as flowers and fruits, etc.
  3. Disengages many people from the production process and makes their own indigenous knowledge of agriculture irrelevant.
  4. It caters to the production of elite items which requires high doses of fertilizers and pesticides. It is often not ecologically sustainable.
