Dear student,
The Indian agriculture sector was severely affected by partition. The effects of partition on agriculture were:
* The partition of the country leads to a shortage of food grains.
* Pakistan got a surplus of the foodgrains area while India got the majority of the population with less amount of foodgrains area.
* Only 68% cotton-producing area came to India's share, while more than 20% jute producing area became part of Pakistan.
Regards.
