"agriculture and industry move hand in hand" Justify.(3M)
 

Dear Student ,

​​​​​​"Agriculture and Industry move hand in hand" .Following are the points that justify this statement :

(i) Industries which depends on agriculture are known as agro-based industries. These agro based industries have given a major boost to agriculture by raising its productivity. As the agro-based industries depend majorly on agriculture for raw materials, it increases the productivity in the primary sector . Not just these industries gain from agriculture but they also contribute to it by selling their products such as fertilisers, insecticides,pesticides, irrigation pumps, PVC pipes, machines and tools, etc to the farmers.
​​​(ii) The industrial sector also provides employment to the excess labour in the agriculture sector. 
(iii) Development of different mode of transport by the industries is a gift of industrial sector that has helped farmers to obtain agricultural inputs and has also helped them trade their products.
(iv) The competitiveness between different industries has led to a major growth in the agriculture sector too thus benefiting both the primary and the secondary sectors.

Thus, it can be concluded the agriculture and industry move hand-in-hand.

Regards.

The following are the five main ways in which agricultural and industrial sector complements each other.
1.?Raw material- Agriculture provides basic raw material to the industrial sector for example, cotton to a cloth industry, sugarcane to a sugar industry, etc. Industrial sector, in turn, provides the basic inputs to the agricultural sector. The industrial goods such as tractor, harvesting machines, fertilisers are a few basic inputs that are used by the agriculture sector.
2.?Market- Agriculture sector provides market to the industrial sector. This implies that the people engaged in the agriculture sector consumes the products produced by the industries. To name a few products, these are soaps, fridges, televisions and a lots more.
3.?Labour- Agriculture sector provides labour to the industrial sector. This can be put in different words as, the industrial sector provides employment to the excess labour (disguised unemployeds engaged) in the agriculture sector.

4.?Wage goods- The most important support that agriculture provides to the industrial sector is the wage goods (or simply food grains). In simple words, agriculture sector feeds the industrial labourers, which keeps them healthy, thereby, more productive.

5.?Mutual Dependence- Both the agriculture sector and the industrial sector are mutually dependent on each other. In case of good harvest, the farmers have high incomes, which they use to demand more industrial goods. For example, during good harvest, many farmers buy new televisions, mobiles, clothes, etc. Similarly, when the people engaged in the industrial sector experience good income, then they demand higher quantities of food grains, eat more fish, meat and drink milk.
