While cash crops are grown in India and their importance is growing, the overall characteristic of Indian agriculture is not the ‘predominance of cash crops’. Food grain production (like rice and wheat) for domestic consumption still dominates the agricultural landscape due to the large population.

Indian agriculture is largely characterized by subsistence farming, high population pressure, and heavy dependence on monsoon.

Features of Indian agriculture include small and fragmented landholdings, reliance on traditional methods in many areas, varied cropping patterns based on regional conditions, and issues like disguised unemployment. While commercial farming is increasing, particularly for certain crops and in certain regions, it does not represent the *predominance* of the sector across the country.
