Langauge


DIRECTIONS for questions 1 to 4: Read the passages below and answer the questions that follow.

‘Corporate farming’ refers to direct ownership or leasing of land by business organizations in order

to produce crops for their captive processing requirements or for the free market. When it is

done for captive purposes, it is referred to as ‘captive farming’ as well, though the two terms

are used interchangeably. As this kind of arrangement is not permitted at present, agri-business

firms are increasingly using contract farming as an alternative. Since agriculture is basically a state

subject, many state governments in India have attempted the liberalization of land laws, especially

land ceiling laws. Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra have recently allowed

business

farms to buy and operate large land-holdings for R&D and export-oriented production business.

Punjab is planning to increase the ceiling on land-holdings to encourage large-scale farming as a

viable proposition in the state. It is argued that corporate farming leads to better allocative

efficiency,

induces higher private investment in agriculture, and results in higher output, higher income and

higher exports. In fact, it is argued that small and marginal farmers should get out of farming

if they are not able to move onto more export-oriented and commercial crops like fruits and

vegetables,

as it will not be viable to grow food crops on small holdings. Export-oriented agriculture requires

large investments that only big agribusiness enterprises can make. Especially in sectors like

horticulture,

floriculture and pisciculture, the quality of inputs like seeds is very important, and that can be

assured only through large investments in land and technology.

1. The style of the passage is:

a] narrative. b] analytical. c] argumentative.

d] abstract. e] nostalgic.

2. Which of the following benefits are not expected as a result of corporate farming?

a] Larger investments in export-oriented agriculture will be possible.


b] Output will increase.

c] Land-holding will be more equitable.

d] The country’s agri-exports may increase.

e] None of the above

3. If corporate farming were assumed to be a progressive step, then, based on this passage, which

of the following state governments could be deemed to be the most progressive?

a] Punjab b] Maharashtra c] Gujarat

d] Karnataka e] Madhya Pradesh
