The current infrastructural facilities are not adequate.<\/p>\n (c) Establishment of Cooperative Marketing Societies: These societies are encouraged by the government to realize fair prices for agricultural products and ensure better income for the farmers.

Flower harvesting, nursery maintenance, hybrid seed production, and tissue culture, propagation of fruits and flowers, and food processing are highly remunerative employment for women laborers in India.<\/p>\n (b) Fisheries: The fishing community regards the water bodies as their mother. The major sources of life for the fishing community are rivers, lakes, oceans, natural and aquatic ponds. In India, after a progressive increase in budget allocation, we can see the development of fisheries. About 49% of fish production comes from inland sources and the remaining from the ocean and sea. Among the states, Kerala, Gujarath, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu are the major producers of marine products.<\/p>\n Question 3. If the distribution of livestock rearing is taken into consideration, poultry accounts for the largest share. The other animals which include camels, asses, horses, etc., are also found remunerative. In India, we have about 28.7 crores of cattle including 9 crores of buffaloes.<\/p>\n The performance of the Indian dairy sector has been remarkable in the past few decades. This is mainly because of the implementation of \u2018Operation Flood’. It is a system whereby all the farmers can pool their milk produced according to different gradings and the same is processed and marketed to urban centers. In this, the farmers are assured of fair price and minimum income from the supply of milk to urban areas.<\/p>\n Animal husbandry is undertaken to develop organic farming by developing green manure and the animal waste is being used to produce gobar gas in rural areas.<\/p>\n Meat, eggs, wool, and other byproducts are also emerging as important productive sectors in animal husbandry.<\/p>\n Question 4.
