Question
“Agriculture and industry move hand in hand.” Analyse the statement with three examples.
Solution
Agriculture and industry move hand-n-hand in the below mentioned ways:
(i) Usage of machines like tractors, harvesters and threshers have changed the pattern of agriculture from labor-intensive to capital-intensive.
(ii) The raw materials acquired as agricultural produce are processed in industries to obtain the finished goods, which are later sold in the market. For example, cotton is used to produce textile.
(iii) Transportation helps in carrying the raw materials from the fields to the industries. It also helps to bring the finished goods to the market.
