Content: The agriculture is mostly done by traditional methods, obsolete equipments and inadequate financial resources. Owing to the lack of finances farmers are unable to apply chemical fertilizers and other inputs in required quantities. Conse­quently, the production per unit area is low. The fragmentation and small size of holdings and land tenancy systems are also some of the serious barriers in the modernization of agriculture. In such countries, land is thus either underutilized or misutilized. Many of the farmers, being tradition-bound, do not accept innovative ideas. Consequently, their agricul­tural techniques remain traditional and production much below than their potential. 5. Slow Growth of Industrial Sector: Industrial sector in developing countries is generally not very strong.
