Content: Loss of crops due to pests and animals
The crops need to be protected from pests and animals. Every year, farmers suffer heavy loss of revenue due to crop loss caused by the activities of pests, insects and animals. To protect their crops, farmers, therefore, use pesticides, insecticides and so on. They also use electrical fences to safeguard their crops from cows, elephants and other animals. 6. Loss of production due to litigation
Another peculiar problem in agricultural production is that there is always litigation between the farmers over the land territory and other such issues. As a result, they may have to spend lot of time, money and efforts to win legal battles. This affects the time available for production and thereby affects output. 7. Small-scale production
In India, the number of small and marginal farmers is larger than the number of big landlords.
