Farmers’ income depends on various factors
Farmers’ income in the country is a complex and challenging subject. There are also huge disparities in the income of farmers. It depends on various factors such as type of farming, land size, climate, resources, and government policies. The income of farmers in India depends on the crops they grow. Schemes launched by the government for farmers such as PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, Minimum Support Price (MSP), and agricultural loans also try to improve income, but their widespread impact does not reach every area.
