'Income and employment would increase if farmers are provided with irrigation, transport and marketing facilities'. Explain

Income and employment would increase if farmers are provided with irrigation and marketing facilities:

(i) Suppose a new dam is constructed and canals are dug to irrigate, it could lead to a lot of employment generation within the agricultural sector itself and in reducing the problem of underemployment.

(ii) Farmers required to transport their products to a nearby town. If the government invest some money in transportation and storage of crops or makes better rural roads so that mini trucks can reach everywhere. This activity can provide productive employment to not just farmers but also others such as those in services like transport or trade.

(iii) Marketing facilities provide better atmosphere for sale of vegetables, fruits, milk and milk products, definitely it will increase income and employment of nearby areas and farmers.
