Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: d) All of the above
Market demand and prices influence farmers’ decisions about what crops to grow, the area under cultivation of different crops, and the adoption of new crop varieties.
- What crops to grow: Farmers will choose to grow crops that are in high demand and that will fetch a good price. If the demand for a particular crop is low, or if the price of that crop is low, farmers will be less likely to grow that crop.
- Area under cultivation of different crops: Farmers will also decide how much land to devote to each crop. They will take into account the expected yield of each crop, the cost of production, and the potential profit.
- Adoption of new crop varieties: Farmers will also decide whether to adopt new crop varieties. New varieties may be more productive, or they may be resistant to pests or diseases. Farmers will weigh the costs and benefits of adopting new varieties before making a decision.
In addition to market demand and prices, farmers’ decisions are also influenced by a number of other factors, such as the availability of land and water, the cost of labor, and government policies.
