Farmers Income Directly Depends on Landholding Size.

Farmers Income Directly  Depends on Landholding Size.


Rs 6426,national monthly income of an  Agricultural Households ....very poor condition.

#West Bengal Agricultural Households income only Rs 3980 per month,While Bihar Rs 3558, Rajasthan 7350, Punjab Rs 18059....West Bengal is the largest food grain producing state in India.


I have lots of questions in my mind🤔 ??? Specially on #West Bengal Agriculture.


I think structural reforms require in West Bengal......we know 96% farmers are small and marginal farmers in West Bengal.....average landholding size  0.5 Hectare  (1.9 Bigha) .... while Rajasthan 1.9 Hectare (7.22 Bigha) and  Punjab 4 Hectare (15 Bigha).


I think farmers income directly depends on landholding size.....and Bengal's landholding size 0.5 Ha (1.9 bigha)....while national average 1.16 Ha (4.5 bigha).

we know 70% population of West Bengal  depends on agriculture for their livelihood....no alternative source of income.That's why bengal's farmers income (Rs 3980 /month) below the national average(Rs 6426/month).


West Bengal needs alternative source of income....West Bengal needs big investment, Industry,Trade and large scale recruitment in government sector.
