This is significantly higher than the national average of 66.7%.

They have less land to cultivate, which means they are less able to take advantage of economies of scale. They also have less access to credit and other resources, which can make it difficult for them to invest in their farms and improve their productivity. As a result, small and marginal farmers are often more vulnerable to economic shocks, such as droughts and floods.<\/p>\n<p>The government of Madhya Pradesh has taken a number of steps to address the problems faced by small and marginal farmers. These include providing them with access to credit, land, and other resources, as well as training and support services. However, more needs to be done to help these farmers improve their livelihoods and reduce their vulnerability to poverty.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each
