Indian farmers are primarily confined to subsistence farming only. Which of the following can explain the reason behind the same?

• They sell their produce to pay for old debts
• They have the details of the prevailing market rate of crops
• They come together to collectively bargain
• Inadequate storage facilities keep back their produce from selling later at a better price

1 and 4

The correct answer is Option 3: 1 and 4

Indian farmers are confined to subsistence farming due to the following reasons:

• They sold a proportion of their income to pay off the debts taken for commercial or personal reason
• They lack in proper storage facilities due to which they are not entitled to better prices of the crops 
• They lack in knowledge of the prevailing market prices and have weak bargaining power
