Question:

Why did the intervention of government became necessary to regulate the activities of private traders?

Options:

Private traders defrauded farmers with low prices of crops

No proper place for storage was there for the agricultural produce

Farmers lagged in the latest technology and sometimes were misguided about the market rates of crops

All of the above

Correct Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

Farmers who did not have the required information on prices prevailing in markets were often forced to sell at low prices. They also did not have proper storage facilities to keep back their produce for selling later at a better price. Apart from that farmers lagged in the knowledge of latest technologies and were often misguided about the prevailing market rates of crops. Therefore, government intervention became necessary to regulate the activities of the private traders.
