In India so many formers are illiterates. They are now knowing about current market position and demand. Simply they are croping the eatable things and sell them to low cost what ever it may be. And they are not investing more money to improve the agricultural land then level of gaining automatically decreasing.

Huge proportion of the farmers are illiterate. Dn the price elasticity for industrial goods are far more than the price elasticity of the. Agricultural goods. This is why the terms of trade between agricultural and industrial countries are unfavourable. And due to profit motives the investment in industrial sector is more so. The rural incomes are so low.
