Each ‘coloured’ revolution stands for a sharp rise in the output of one farm product, and the colour usually hints at the product.
(A) Green Revolution — this matches (II) Agriculture. From the mid-1960s, high-yielding seeds of wheat and rice, fertilisers and irrigation raised food-grain output.
(B) Blue Revolution — this matches (IV) Fish production. Blue for water: it stands for the growth of fisheries and aquaculture.
(C) Golden Revolution — this matches (I) Fruit production in horticulture. It is the rapid growth of horticulture, fruits and also honey, from about 1991 to 2003.
(D) Silver Revolution — this matches (III) Egg production. Silver for the white egg: it stands for the rise in egg and poultry production.
