distribution of cultivated land and farmers in India

in #small7 years ago

These are some of the important agricultural statistics:
The average holding in India is tiny and often split into scattered pieces. Five major categories of land holding are: marginal (below 1 ha), small (1-2 ha), semi-medium (2-4 ha), medium (4-10 ha), large (10ha and above).
According to Census 2011, 67 per cent of holdings were classified as marginal (less than one hectare) and 18 per cent were classified as small (one-two hectare).
Nearly 80% of the farmers are small and marginal farmers, yet they hold a tiny fraction of the total landholding.
